To amend the National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Act of 2020 to require the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy to establish a prize competition program relating to artificial intelligence, and for other purposes.

This bill would require the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy to set up, within one year, a federal prize competition program for artificial intelligence research and development. The office would create and review each year a list of priority challenges, such as microelectronics, advanced manufacturing, border security, cybersecurity, energy use, and AI safety, and would post problem statements, success measures, and awards on Challenge.gov. The Commerce Department, Transportation Department, and National Science Foundation could also run related investment programs, with all research done in the United States. Agencies would report winners and results to Congress, the programs would end after five years, and the Government Accountability Office would study how well prize competitions work.
