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. The call for action includes forming partnerships with industry and government agencies like the FDA to expedite drug design and approval processes. Without immediate action, the U.S. risks falling behind other nations in AI innovation.
