Small AI Innovators Empowerment Act

This bill directs the Secretary of Commerce, working through the National Institute of Standards and Technology and with the Small Business Administration, to arrange for an outside expert group to study challenges faced by small U.S. artificial intelligence businesses, if Congress provides funding. The study would look at funding sources, research and development tax credits, use of accelerators and incubators, effects of federal policy, access to computing and data, and hiring and keeping workers. It would also include recommendations to address these challenges. A small AI business is defined as a U.S.-headquartered, for-profit, independently owned company whose main business is AI and that employs 250 or fewer people.
