Summary

Creates a federal steering subcommittee to oversee and coordinate the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR). It centralizes planning, sets priorities, reviews budgets, selects an operating entity, and publishes an annual public report to increase fair access to computing power and datasets for AI research. It responds to concerns that advanced AI work requires resources concentrated in a few large tech companies, limiting who can participate. Federal agencies on the subcommittee may contribute resources or funding to NAIRR, and the subcommittee is reviewed at least annually for accountability.
