Bill overview
This bill, the HBCU AI Research Leadership Act, aims to increase opportunities for historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) in the field of artificial intelligence research. It modifies the National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Act to require that at least 10% of financial assistance awarded for national AI research institutes be specifically designated for eligible HBCUs, either individually or as part of partnerships with other institutions. The bill also clarifies the definition of ‘historically Black college and university’ for the purpose of this legislation. Ultimately, the goal is to foster AI research and development at HBCUs.
