WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – The Trump administration is committed to doubling funds for research and development in artificial intelligence (AI) over the next two years, the White House said in a press release on Tuesday.
The White House also said it is on track to double funds for non-defence AI research and development by 2022.
The new budget proposal seeks more than $830 million for AI research and development at the National Science Foundation, a more than 70 percent increase over the 2020 budget, the release added.
The White House budget proposal also seeks $375 million in total for AI research funds at the Departments of Energy and Agriculture, as well as the National Institutes of Health, the release said.
A day earlier, the US administration submitted its budget proposal for the fiscal year 2021. In total, it requested $4.8 trillion, across all government areas.
US President Donald Trump launched the American AI Initiative in February 2019, directing involved agencies to prioritize this area in their budget requests as a part of a national strategy.
