GUARD Act

This bill would allow the Secretary of Defense to set up at least one National Security and Defense Artificial Intelligence Institute at a senior military college. The Department of Defense could award money, through a competitive, merit-based review, to these colleges or groups of them to create and run the institutes. The money could pay for AI research and education, shared data sets, testing sites for AI systems, computing access, technical help, and outreach to grow the AI workforce. Awards would last five years and could be renewed once for another five years. All recipients, including subgrantees, would have to be based in the United States.
