What this bill does
S. 2714, the CREATE AI Act of 2024, would direct the National Science Foundation, working with a new interagency steering subcommittee, to establish a National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR). This resource would provide computing power, datasets, testbeds, and training tools to support AI research. The bill creates a Program Management Office within NSF to oversee day-to-day operations and directs selection, through a competitive process, of a nongovernmental "Operating Entity" to run the NAIRR's technical infrastructure, subject to oversight and available funding.
The bill primarily affects AI researchers, educators, and students at U.S. universities, nonprofits, federal agencies, federally funded research centers, and certain small businesses, who would become eligible users of the shared resource. It also affects federal agencies that may contribute funding or computing/data resources, and would require privacy, ethics, civil rights, and security safeguards for how the resource is used. The stated goal is to broaden access to AI research tools beyond large technology companies and increase diversity in AI development.
The bill was introduced in the Senate in July 2023 by Senator Heinrich with bipartisan cosponsors and referred to the Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee. In July 2024, the committee ordered it reported favorably with an amendment in the nature of a substitute. It has not received a floor vote, and as the 118th Congress has ended, the bill would need to be reintroduced in a future Congress to advance further.
