Description
The Fueling AI Innovation and Adoption (FAIIA) program aims to tackle key obstacles to deploying and adopting artificial intelligence internationally. The program advances the U.S. vision for AI innovation, competition, application, and governance. It addresses several critical challenges, including opposing burdensome regulations that could hinder private sector innovation and undermining U.S. technological leadership. The program also counters China's efforts to expand its authoritarian influence through AI.
