New AI Institutes

It seems the USA is determined to attest its dominance in the field of artificial intelligence. In August 2020, the Trump administration announced that The National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy have allocated $1 billion for advanced research in AI and quantum information. The investment will lead to the foundation of 12 new AI institutes and quantum information science (QIS) research institutes. The funds will be directed toward AI Research Institutes under the supervision of NSF and QIS Research Centers led by DOE. The $1 billion will be allocated for a period of five years in order to achieve advancements in fields like machine learning, computer vision, and quantum computing. The USA is aware of AI's importance for the "21st-century American workforce" and national economic growth.
