Pax Silica Artificial Intelligence Assistance Project

The Pax Silica Artificial Intelligence Assistance Project is a funding opportunity that aims to strengthen global AI supply chain security by creating a trusted supply chain credentialing and provenance platform. The project will be launched as a pilot in Panama and will include two phases. The first phase will focus on establishing a digital-physical corridor that accelerates logistics and compliance operations, while the second phase will expand to other Pax Silica signatories and countries/economies targeted by the Department as potential partners. The project will utilize foreign assistance from the Pax Fund and will have a total available funding of $50,000,000. • The project will establish a Silicon Highway, a digital-physical corridor that accelerates logistics and compliance operations among partner countries. • The project will utilize cryptographic cargo verification, AI-expedited risk assessment, and pre-approved expedited processing early in the supply chain. • The project will have two phases, with the first phase being a pilot in Panama and the second phase expanding to other countries. • The project will utilize foreign assistance from the Pax Fund. • The project will have a total available funding of $50,000,000.
