Creates a national hub for U.S. researchers to access artificial intelligence tools.

The CREATE AI Act would create a National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR). This new resource would give U.S. researchers, teachers, and students access to powerful AI computing, data, and software. It would help improve AI research and build AI skills for American workers, making these tools more available. The National Science Foundation would run this new resource.

What Would Change

Today, access to advanced AI computing power, data, and software can be hard to find and expensive for many U.S. researchers and teachers. If this bill becomes law, a new National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource would be created. This resource would bring these AI tools together, making them more accessible and secure for qualified users nationwide.
