The establishment of the new committee comes as the Trump administration makes AI as a research-and-development priority and works to maintain the countryâs technological leadership, the White House said Monday in a summary report of the AI for American Industry summit.
The panel will advise the administration on interagency R&D priorities related to AI; consider the formation of federal partnerships with academia and industry; set up structures to build up government coordination and planning related to AI R&D efforts; and determine opportunities on how to use federal computational resources and data in support of the countryâs AI R&D ecosystem.
The select committee will be led by senior R&D officials from several agencies such as the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, National Science Foundation and the Office of Science and Technology Policy.
The committee âwill align interagency R&D priorities and improve planning and coordination of federal AI investments,â Michael Kratsios, deputy assistant to the president for technology policy, said at the event.
