The OSTP director emphasized the urgent need for substantial funding in AI research and development, estimating costs in the tens of billions. A proposed annual budget of $32 billion for non-defense AI R&D was highlighted as essential for addressing current challenges. The director also pointed out the necessity of authorizing and appropriating the National AI Research Resource, with a potential $2.6 billion allocation over six years.
Prabhakar stressed that the current funding of $30 million for the NAIRR pilot is insufficient and that a deeper investment in basic research is crucial.
