The National Science Foundation (NSF) announces the creation of eleven new National Institutes for Artificial Intelligence Research. With this nearly 
20 million over five years, for a total of $220 million. Seven areas of research will be emphasized:
- Human-IA interaction and collaboration
- AI for Optimization Advances
- AI and Advanced Cyber Infrastructure
- AI in Computer and Network Systems
- AI in dynamic systems
- AI-enhanced learning
- AI-driven innovation in agriculture and the food system
USDA-NIFA Director Carrie Castille spoke about the final research area around agribusiness innovation:
“In the tradition of USDA-NIFA investments, these new institutes leverage the scientific power of America’s land-grant universities through close partnership with farmers, growers, educators, and innovators to provide sustainable agricultural production solutions and address these pressing societal challenges. These innovation centers will accelerate our ability to meet the critical needs of the future agricultural workforce, providing equitable and fair market access, increasing nutritional security, and providing tools for climate smart agriculture.”
Currently, 40 states have an institute or research lab related to artificial intelligence. NSF’s goal is to have AI reach all 50 states in the country.
