In a move to spearhead technological advancement, the Biden administration’s FY2025 budget request earmarks $3 billion to propel transformative AI applications across federal agencies. This investment not only underscores the significance of maintaining U.S. leadership in the tech domain but also highlights a commitment to fostering innovation for the public good.
Here are some key highlights from the FY2025 funding proposal concerning AI and emerging technologies:
- Mandatory Funding for AI Advancements: The budget includes $300 million in mandatory funding aimed at bolstering agency resources for AI initiatives, addressing critical risks, and promoting its utilization for societal benefit.
- Investment in Research Agencies: A substantial portion of $20 billion is allocated across major research agencies, driving innovative endeavors catalyzed by the passage of the 2022 CHIPS Act. This represents a notable increase of $1.2 billion from the previous year’s funding, indicating a strong commitment to research and development.
- Improving IT Systems and Public Services: A core objective is to enhance agency IT infrastructure and public-facing services to better serve both citizens and the federal workforce. This includes the adoption of cutting-edge digital systems to streamline processes and improve accessibility.
