H.R. 2385: Creating Resources for Every American To Experiment with Artificial Intelligence Act of 2025

This bill, known as the Creating Resources for Every American To Experiment with Artificial Intelligence Act of 2025 (or the CREATE AI Act of 2025), seeks to establish the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR) to enhance access to artificial intelligence (AI) research resources across various communities and institutions in the United States. Its main objectives include:

1. Establishment of NAIRR

The bill mandates the creation of NAIRR by the Director of the National Science Foundation, in coordination with the NAIRR Steering Subcommittee, within one year after the bill's enactment. The aims of the NAIRR are:

• To stimulate innovation and development in artificial intelligence.
• To improve access to AI resources for researchers, educators, and students.
• To enhance the capacity for AI research within the United States.
• To assist in testing, benchmarking, and evaluating AI systems developed in the U.S.

2. Governance Structure

The governance of NAIRR will be overseen by a newly established Program Management Office within the National Science Foundation, which will include dedicated staff members and be responsible for:

• Day-to-day operations of NAIRR.
• Development of criteria to select the Operating Entity, responsible for managing NAIRR.
• Overseeing compliance and performance evaluation of the Operating Entity.

3. Resources Provided

NAIRR will provide a range of resources including:

• Computational resources (e.g., cloud-based services, data storage).
• Datasets that are crucial for AI research, including curated datasets and access to data repositories.
• Educational tools and services related to AI, including training materials and technical support.
• Access to AI testbeds for conducting research and testing AI systems.

4. Eligibility for Access

Access to resources from NAIRR will be available to:

• Researchers, educators, and students affiliated with institutions in the U.S.
• Federal agencies and federally funded research and development centers.
• Small businesses that have received government funding.

Individuals employed by foreign entities listed under certain U.S. laws will be explicitly excluded from access.

5. Ethical and Safety Considerations

The bill emphasizes the importance of ethics, privacy, and safety in AI research. The Program Management Office is instructed to develop procedures that ensure compliance with established standards related to these issues, including conducting audits on AI projects utilizing NAIRR resources.

6. Funding and Donations

NAIRR is authorized to accept donations and funding from private sector sources to support its operations. Additionally, the Program Management Office may establish a fee schedule for accessing NAIRR resources, which could vary depending on user type.

7. Performance Evaluation and Reporting

Regular evaluations of NAIRR's performance are mandated to assess its impact and effectiveness. The findings will be documented in an annual report that will be made publicly available, ensuring transparency and accountability in its operations.
