US sets up National AI Task Force - Cybersecurity Insiders

Joe Biden-led administration seems to have taken Artificial Intelligence(AI) technology seriously as it has launched a National Task Force that will oversee the use of government data in AI research. The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) has confirmed the news and said that the task force will soon formulate a blueprint for the use of data for machine learning programs and algorithms. Officially dubbed as the National AI Research Resource (NAIRR), the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource Task Force will act as a centralized platform where information and infrastructure sharing will be done to support AI research carried out by various companies and science students across the country. High-end computers, high-quality data sets, and educational tools along with the supporting expertise will be provided by NAIRR. And the task force will be chaired by Lynne Parker Director of the White House Artificial Intelligence Initiative and Erwin Gianchandani of the National Science Foundation.
