AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes the National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Act of 2020, which funds national artificial intelligence research institutes. It would require the federal agency giving out this funding to set aside at least 10 percent of it for eligible historically Black colleges and universities, or groups of them, to set up and support these institutes. These schools could partner with other colleges and universities. The bill also defines "historically Black college and university" using the definition in the Higher Education Act of 1965.
