Recommendations

The report's recommendations include:[4]

  • dramatically increasing non-defense federal spending on AI research and development, doubling every year from $2 billion in 2022, to $32 billion in 2026. That would bring it up to a level similar to spending on biomedical research
  • creation of a Digital Corps to bring skilled tech workers into government
  • founding of a Digital Service Academy: an accredited university providing subsidized education in exchange for a commitment to work for a time in government
  • include civil rights and civil liberty reports for new AI systems or major updates to existing systems
  • expanding allocations of employment-based green cards, and giving them to every AI PhD graduate from an accredited U.S. university
  • reforming the acquisition management system Department of Defense to make it faster and easier to introduce new technologies.[5]
