Sens. Heinrich, Young, Rounds, and Booker introduced the CREATE AI Act to turn the NSF's pilot program into a permanent resource. The legislation provides tools like super-powerful computers and data to small businesses and academia while implementing strict security rules against foreign rivals.
The CREATE AI Act, introduced in late April, would codify the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource within the NSF. The bill is designed to support workforce training and R&D, ensuring that the future of AI isn't shaped only by a small number of large tech companies.
Senator Martin Heinrich joined a bipartisan group to reintroduce the CREATE AI Act. The bill would establish a shared system providing researchers and students with access to computing tools and curated datasets, helping the U.S. stay competitive while ensuring research stays secure.
