HR 2385 would establish the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource, a federally run program providing researchers with access to computing power, datasets, software, and testing environments through a central online portal. The National Science Foundation would oversee the program, while a competitively selected private nonprofit would handle day-to-day operations. A free basic access tier would exist, with paid options available for users who need more resources.
The program would be open to researchers, educators, and students at U.S. universities, nonprofits, government agencies, and federally funded small businesses. People affiliated with countries designated as national security threats would be blocked from participating.
Currently, advanced AI research requires computing power and large datasets that mostly only large technology companies can afford, concentrating who shapes AI development. Expanding access to these tools could shift some of that influence toward a broader range of institutions and individuals.
