The CREATE AI Act establishes the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource, a new initiative that will provide U.S. researchers, educators, and students with shared access to computing power, data, software, and educational materials for artificial intelligence research and development. The National Science Foundation will oversee the NAIRR through a Program Management Office that must be created within one year of the law's enactment and will coordinate resources from government agencies, state governments, and private organizations. Eligible users include researchers and students at universities, nonprofit institutions, government agencies, small businesses that have received federal funding, and federally funded research centers, though access will be denied to individuals employed by certain foreign governments. The program can charge fees for access on a sliding scale basis, with a free tier guaranteed, and may retain collected fees to support ongoing operations. The legislation requires compliance with federal research security standards and encourages the use of open-source software in the NAIRR's administration and development.
