US senators' AI roadmap aims for $32b in R&D spending
Briefly

The Driving US Innovation in Artificial Intelligence proposal calls for as much as $32 billion per year to be spent on non-defense AI innovation. The funding would be phased in over a number of years, aligning with the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence's recommendation of $32 billion by 2026.
While the $32 billion annual spend on AI is attention-grabbing, the report mainly focuses on this, deferring other crucial aspects like federal AI legislation to committees. Policy priorities include enforcing existing AI laws, addressing national security risks, examining election security threats from AI, and promoting competition.
The roadmap highlights the need for a federal data privacy framework, an area where the US has lacked progress. The senators engage various stakeholders over a year to shape their roadmap, emphasizing the importance of bipartisan collaboration in advancing AI initiatives.
