THE NATIONAL ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN: 2019 UPDATE

(June 21, 2019)

Artificial intelligence (AI) holds tremendous promise to benefit nearly all aspects of society, including the economy, healthcare, security, the law, transportation, even technology itself. On February 11, 2019, the President signed Executive Order 13859, Maintaining American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence. This order launched the American AI Initiative, a concerted effort to promote and protect AI technology and innovation in the United States. The Initiative implements a whole-of-government strategy in collaboration and engagement with the private sector, academia, the public, and like-minded international partners. Among other actions, key directives in the Initiative call for Federal agencies to prioritize AI research and development (R&D) investments, enhance access to high-quality cyberinfrastructure and data, ensure that the Nation leads in the development of technical standards for AI, and provide education and training opportunities to prepare the American workforce for the new era of AI.

Research and Development Priorities for American Leadership in Wireless Communications

(May 30, 2019)

This report responds to the October 25, 2018, Presidential Memorandum on Developing a Sustainable Spectrum Strategy for America’s Future and contains recommendations for prioritizing R&D to advance radio frequency spectrum access and efficiency, as called for in Section 2(c) of the Memorandum. The report focuses on R&D efforts to create a flexible R&D environment that advances spectrum technologies to meet current and future spectrum requirements for the broad communications needs of the Nation. This report supports Administration spectrum goals by identifying spectrum R&D priorities across Federal and private sectors for ongoing, increased, and new R&D investments in both the near term (5-10 years) and the long term (greater than 10 years). The priorities report looks beyond only mobile and broadband communications to examine the entire spectrum ecosystem, including science and meteorological observations, radar, radiolocation, and navigation. The report considers the impact of R&D across the electromagnetic spectrum, as well as emerging network architectures and application domains expected in the future that will rely on the existence of a reliable wireless communication system.
