The President shall establish and implement an initiative with respect to artificial intelligence, to be known as the National Artificial Intelligence Initiative . In carrying out the Initiative, the President shall, acting through appropriate Federal entities, including the Networking and Information Technology Research and Development Program— establish the objectives, priorities, and metrics for the strategic plans under section 103 to accelerate development of artificial intelligence science and technology applications in the United States; invest in artificial intelligence science and technology research, development, demonstration, application to analysis and modeling, and other activities; support the development of an artificial intelligence science and technology workforce pipeline by making strategic investments to— expand the number of researchers, educators, and students with training in artificial intelligence science and technology to develop a workforce pipeline; increase the number of skilled and trained workers from underrepresented groups who can contribute to the development of artificial intelligence technologies, diversify the workforce, and expand the workforce pipeline; promote the development and inclusion of multidisciplinary curricula and research opportunities for artificial intelligence science and engineering, including advanced technological education, during the primary, secondary, undergraduate, graduate, postdoctoral, adult learning, and career retraining stages of education; and equip workers with the knowledge and skill sets required to operate effectively in occupations and workplaces that will be increasingly influenced by artificial intelligence; facilitate coordination of efforts and collaboration with respect to artificial intelligence among Government, Federal and national laboratories, nonprofit organizations, institutions of higher education, and industry; leverage existing Federal investments, and partner with industry and institutions of higher education to leverage knowledge and resources, to advance objectives and priorities of the Initiative; strengthen research, development, demonstration, and application in the fields of artificial intelligence science and technology by— addressing basic research knowledge gaps with respect to artificial intelligence through research; promoting the further development of facilities and centers available for artificial intelligence science and technology research, testing, and education; stimulating research on, and promoting more rapid development and commercialization of, artificial intelligence-based technologies; promoting research into the effects of artificial intelligence and applications of artificial intelligence on society, the workforce and workplace, and individuals, including those from underrepresented groups; promoting data sharing among the Federal Government, academic researchers, the private sector, and other practitioners of artificial intelligence; identifying and minimizing inappropriate bias in data sets, algorithms, and other aspects of artificial intelligence; and supporting efforts to create metrics to assess safety, security, and reliability of applications of artificial intelligence science and technology; and ensure that artificial intelligence research, development, demonstration, and application efforts create measurable benefits for all individuals in the United States, including members of disadvantaged and underrepresented groups.
