Route Fifty: “A new section of resources intended for artificial intelligence researchers was launched last Friday by the National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Office, with a goal of providing easy access to data sets and testbed environments for AI application training. The AI Researchers Portal—a program within the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy—is the latest page added to the NAIIO website. Announcing its launch on Twitter, officials described it as “a central connection to many federally-supported resources for America’s AI research community.” Some of the available tools on the page include funding and grant information, datasets, computing resources, a research program directory and a testbed selection.  With access to these resources, researchers working on AI projects can improve their studies and projects with higher-quality data from federal agencies like NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Institute for Standards and Technology, and the National Institutes of Health. The portal fulfills provisions established in the overarching National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Act that require NAIIO leadership to “promote access to and early adoption of the technologies, innovations, lessons learned and expertise derived from Initiative activities to agency missions and systems across the federal government.”..”
