Pax Silica Artificial Intelligence Assistance Project

The Pax Silica Artificial Intelligence Assistance Project is a historic first-of-its-kind programmatic initiative to strengthen global AI supply chain security. The project aims to create a trusted supply chain credentialing and provenance platform to secure the AI supply chain in partner countries and economies. The project will establish a digital-physical corridor, known as the Silicon Highway, to accelerate logistics and compliance operations among partner countries. The Silicon Highway will utilize cryptographic cargo verification, AI-expedited risk assessment, and pre-approved expedited processing early in the supply chain. • The project will be funded through a cooperative agreement. • The estimated funding for the project is between $1,000,000 and $50,000,000. • The project is expected to award 3 grants. • The applicant eligibility is limited to for-profit organizations other than small businesses. • The funding instrument for the project is a cooperative agreement. • The funding activity category for the project is business and commerce.
