Expanding AI Voices Act

This bill directs the National Science Foundation to make competitive, merit-reviewed awards to certain colleges and universities to expand artificial intelligence research, education, and workforce development. Eligible schools include those not among the top 100 in federal research spending and minority-serving institutions, including historically Black colleges and Tribal colleges, alone or in groups that may include nonprofits. Award money may be used for research programs, faculty hiring and training, bridge programs for graduate study, access to computing and data resources, workshops, and teaching safe and reliable AI practices. The Foundation must conduct outreach to eligible schools and ensure the awards do not duplicate existing programs.
