Congress finds the following: Grant funds allocated to an eligible entity under section 60102 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act ( 47 U.S.C. 1702 ) that remain after the eligible entity’s final proposal is approved should be used to enhance and sustain the success of the broadband deployment projects approved pursuant to that proposal. Strengthening the telecommunication infrastructure of the United States, including high-capacity fiber and network interconnection, and developing an adequate, targeted workforce are essential to deploying and scaling artificial intelligence (commonly referred to as AI ) technologies, which are critical for maintaining United States leadership in emerging technologies.
Federal broadband investments to modernize and harden the networks of the United States, including the 9–1–1 networks, are also vital for public safety and national security. The People’s Republic of China is investing heavily in AI and advanced network infrastructure and workforce training, presenting a geopolitical and technological challenge to the leadership of the United States that warrants action.
