Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an engine of innovation that is driving scientific discovery and economic growth. It is increasingly becoming an integral component of solutions that stand to impact everything from routine daily tasks to societal-level challenges, ultimately serving the public good. At the same time, there are also concerns that AI could have negative social and environmental consequences.

To realize the positive and transformative potential of AI, it is imperative to harness all of America's ingenuity to advance the field in a manner that addresses societal challenges, works for all Americans, and upholds our democratic values. Yet progress at the current frontiers of AI is often tied to access to large amounts of computational power and data. Such access today is too often limited to those in well-resourced organizations. This large and growing resource divide has the potential to limit and adversely skew our AI research ecosystem. The imbalance threatens our Nation’s ability to cultivate an AI research community and workforce that reflect America's rich diversity and the ability to harness AI to advance the public good.
