U.S. National Science Foundation State and Regional Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure Hubs
Funds the coordination of state and regional AI compute consortia — but the consortium pays for the computers, not NSF.
This programme responds to a simple shortage: researchers need far more computing power for AI-driven science than most institutions can provide. Its answer is a hub — a flexible state or regional consortium of state and local governments, research institutions, philanthropies and private companies — that pools resources into shared AI compute.
The division of money is the most important thing ab…
State or regional consortia expanding researcher access to AI compute infrastructure, with NSF funding the consortium's coordination, AI infrastructure workforce development, and faculty training and coursework in using AI for science.
