The State and Regional Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure Hubs program will fund partnerships that bring together academic institutions, state and local governments, industry and philanthropic organizations to build and operate advanced scientific computing capacity. What Are the Details of the State and Regional Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure Hubs program? Under the new program, NSF will fund the creation of AI Infrastructure Hubs — state-level or multistate regional consortia that pool contributions from research institutions, philanthropic groups, local governments and private companies to stand up shared computing resources. The agency will invest in consortium coordination, workforce training tied to AI infrastructure, and curriculum and faculty development to help institutions integrate AI tools into science instruction and research. NVIDIA said it can provide support through equipping institutions with the practical means to put AI into use.
