Ensuring Safe and Ethical AI Development Through SAFE AI Research Grants

This bill would require the Director of the National Academy of Sciences to create a grant program to encourage the development of safe artificial intelligence (AI) models and research on AI safety. The Director would develop guiding principles and ethical considerations for the program, working with industry, government, academia, and technology groups and using a public comment process. Within one year, the Director would send Congress a detailed proposal for the program, including a budget, a funding request, a review of existing AI models, areas needing more research, and a timeline. The proposal would also explain how grant applications would be requested, how grantees would be evaluated, and how to judge whether they met promised outcomes.
