“The White House has launched a new website, AI.gov, to make artificial intelligence research more accessible across the nation, Axios has learned. The U.S. once led significantly in the global artificial intelligence race, but now risks being overtaken by China. This is one step the White House is taking to drum up excitement for AI and broaden educational opportunities in the field.”
“The website’s target audience is the general public, and its purpose is to make public information available on AI more visible to someone like a teacher or student interested in science. Users will be able to visit the website to learn how artificial intelligence is being used across the nation in a variety of ways, including to respond to the COVID pandemic and weather forecasting, for example. ‘This is a resource that will enable researchers from all over the country to have access to both the computing and the data that they need in order to do cutting edge research,’ said Lynne Parker, director of the National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Office” – Axios.
