,intelligence ,initiative ,act of #bjbj4 #ejjb4 ,findings ,congress finds the following3 7#a7 ,artificial intelligence is a tool that has the potential to change and possibly transform every sector of the ,united ,states economy and society4 7#b7 ,the ,federal ,government should continue to play an important role advancing research1 development1 standards1 and education activities in artificial intelligence through coordination and collaboration between government1 academia1 and the private sector to leverage the intellectual1 physical1 and digital resources of each stakeholder4 7#c7 ,the ,federal ,government lacks clear understanding of the capabilities of artificial intelligence and its potential to affect various social and economic sectors1 including ethical concerns1 national security implications1 and workforce impacts4 7#d7 ,researchers from academia1 ,federal laboratories1 and much of the private sector have limited access to many high-quality datasets1 computing resources1 or real-world testing environments to design and deploy safe and trustworthy artificial intelligence systems4 7#e7 ,there is a lack of standards and benchmarking for artificial intelligence systems that academia and the public and private sectors can use to evaluate the performance of these systems before and after deployment4 7#f7 ,artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming a highly interdisciplinary field with expertise required from a diverse range of scientific and other scholarly disciplines that traditionally work independently and continue to face cultural and institutional barriers to large scale collaboration4 7#g7 ,current ,federal investments and funding mechanisms are largely insufficient to incentivize and support the large-scale interdisciplinary and public-private collaborations that will be required to advance trustworthy artificial intelligence systems in the ,united ,states4 7#h7 ,the ,united ,states education pipeline for artificial intelligence fields faces significant challenges4 ,not only does the artificial intelligence research field lack the gender and racial diversity of the ,american population as a whole1 but it is failing to both retain researchers and adequately support educators to meet the demands of the next generation of students studying artificial intelligence4 7#i7 ,in order to help drive forward advances in trustworthy artificial intelligence across all sectors and to the benefit of all ,americans1 the ,federal ,government must provide sufficient resources and use its convening power to facilitate the growth of artificial intelligence human capital1 research1 and innovation capacity in academia and other nonprofit research organizations1 companies of all sizes and across all sectors1 and within the ,federal ,government4 #ejjc4 ,definitions ,in this division3 7#a7 ,advisory ,committee ,the term ,advisory ,committee means the ,national ,artificial ,intelligence ,advisory ,committee
