The National Science Foundation is leading a pilot project called the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR) to democratize AI research by providing universities access to supercomputers used by big tech companies. Academic researchers are concerned about the divide in access to powerful AI technology compared to profit-driven tech companies, which could lead to biased AI models that leave marginalized populations behind.
The NAIRR pilot aims to address biases in AI research and development by providing computing and data resources to university projects focusing on societal challenges in sectors like agriculture and healthcare. Companies like OpenAI and Meta have concentrated AI compute power, making it challenging for research universities to develop their own AI advancements, especially smaller institutions located away from major tech hubs.
