This week the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR) Task Force released a roadmap to establish a national research infrastructure aimed to broaden access to resources for AI research and development. There are ever increasing opportunities to work with cutting-edge AI technologies, but many of the opportunities are limited to large companies, organizations and academic institutions with an abundance of resources. The implementation plan, Strengthening and Democratizing the U.S. Artificial Intelligence Innovation Ecosystem, aims to provide AI researchers and students with access to computational resources, high-quality data, training tools, and user support. The report lays out the following goals for the NAIRR: Provide AI researchers and students with significantly expanded […]
Computing Community Consortium Blog
The goal of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community to debate longer range, more audacious research challenges; to build consensus around research visions; to evolve the most promising visions toward clearly defined initiatives; and to work with the funding organizations to move challenges and visions toward funding initiatives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a more immediate, online mechanism for dissemination of visioning concepts and community discussion/debate about them.

The National Library of Medicine’s Impact on AI Research
November 16th, 2022 / in AI, Research News, resources / by Maddy HunterThe National Library of Medicine (NLM) has been providing the medical field with information since 1836. Starting off as a small collection of books, the entity has grown into the world’s largest biomedical library, housing biomedical research and computational health data research. NLM supports two research programs, the Division of Extramural Programs (EP) and Intramural Research Program (IRP), that seek to catalyze advancements in the intersection of medicine and computer science. Specifically, these programs focus on biomedical informatics, data science, computational biology, and computational health. Through these programs NLM is making major investments in finding new ways that Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be used in the medical field. A couple […]
The Coordinated Science Laboratory Releases a White Paper on Key Findings from their Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and Social Responsibility
November 10th, 2022 / in AI, Announcements / by Maddy HunterThe Coordinated Science Laboratory (CSL) just released a white paper reflecting ideas that were presented and discussed at the Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and Social Responsibility sponsored by the CSL at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, with co-sponsorship by the School of Information Sciences at the University. This symposium was the second of two symposia sponsored by CSL to celebrate its 70th anniversary. Contemporary AI technologies are more powerful and pervasive than the original AI technologies created in university laboratories. While industry dominates AI today, universities can still play important roles. In this white paper, we recommend actions that universities should take to promote social responsibility in the development and […]
