- Some of the world's largest technology companies have partnered with the National Science Foundation for the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR) pilot program.
- The program, ordered by President Biden, is expected to create artificial intelligence resources for U.S. educators and researchers.
The National Science Foundation, a federal research agency, announced the launch of the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR) pilot program. This will give educators and researchers across the country access to cutting-edge data, tools and artificial intelligence support. innovation.
The program has received pledges of support from multiple organizations, including private sector contributors such as IBM, Google, Microsoft, AWS, NVIDIA, and Intel. Several federal agencies also contribute to the program, including NASA, NOAA, and the Department of Energy.
NVIDIA will contribute $30 million in support, most of which will come from compute access to the DGX platform. Similarly, Microsoft is offering him $20 million worth of Azure computing credits. OpenAI is also offering $1 million worth of credits for AI safety and social impact research.

The program was part of President Biden's implementation of his October 30 Artificial Intelligence Executive Order. It essentially serves as a proof of concept for two years before being expanded into a full-fledged resource. The program covers access to research resources, privacy and security settings, interoperability, education, and user support.
The NAIRR project involves advanced computing, AI models, software, and data and is primarily used for academic purposes. The project is expected to provide resources for users ranging from large-scale model researchers to educators in schools and community colleges.
