First in a series of posts covering the Biden Administration’s FY25 agency budget requests that are important to the computing research community. First up: the National Science Foundation.
The Biden Administration released a high-level overview of their $7.3 trillion budget request for Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25).
House leadership announced the launch of a bipartisan, 24-member Task Force on Artificial Intelligence.

In our continuing series following the Biden Administration’s Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24) budget request, we now turn to the National Science Foundation (NSF).
The Biden Administration released a set of principles aimed at creating a Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights to, “help guide the design, development, and deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) and other automated systems so that they protect the rights of the American public.”
The National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence, a congressionally-chartered committee charged with reviewing AI and related technologies and making recommendations to address U.S. national security and defense needs, today released its final report, endorsing significant new investments in AI research, strategies for building the AI workforce, and guidance for using AI in warfare while upholding U.S. democratic values.
Last week the long awaited conferenced National Defense Authorization Act (or NDAA; the defense policy bill) was publicly released. Regular readers will recall that earlier in the year that the House Science Committee’s National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Act (HR 6216) was included in the House version of the NDAA. At that time, there was no equivalent in the Senate NDAA and it was unclear if it would survive the conference negotiations. Fortunately, the AI Initiative Act was included in the conference agreement released last week.
