Comments Submitted in Response to National Science Foundation RFI on a National AI R&D Strategic Plan
May 29, 2025

The Partnership submitted comments in response to the National Science Foundation’s Request for Information on a 2025 National AI R&D Strategic Plan. In the comments, the Partnership makes three recommendations, noting the federal government should seek to: (1) promote sustained federal investments in high-performance computing, interoperable AI infrastructure; (2) develop public-private partnerships to leverage private industry expertise in the pursuit of national science and security priorities; and (3) build a federal workforce equipped to lead government-scale AI Partnership for AI Infrastructure R&D initiatives.

Proposal: Building Defense AI Factories for National Security 
May 1, 2025

The United States faces an urgent threat to its AI leadership as China rapidly advances state-backed AI initiatives, shrinking our edge from years to weeks. AI is increasingly central to national security, with implications for deterrence, intelligence, defense innovation and global security. To maintain strategic dominance, we propose a $10 billion investment in a “Defense AI Factories Program” at the Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). This initiative would establish cutting-edge AI infrastructure, supercharge federal capabilities, and catalyze private sector innovation for defense, securing U.S. leadership in AI-driven national security.

Partnership for AI Infrastructure files a Letter for the Record
February 12, 2025

The Partnership submitted a Letter for the Record to the House Science, Space and Technology Committee’s Subcommittee on Energy hearing, “From Transformative Science to Technological Breakthroughs: DOE’s National Laboratories”. The letter outlines the critical need for federal investments in artificial intelligence (AI) research and development (R&D), including at our nation’s national labs, to advance our national science, security, and technology objectives.

One Pager: Building the Foundation for America’s AI Future

The U.S. is at a critical moment in the race for artificial intelligence (AI) leadership, aiming to secure its global dominance through a national initiative led by the Department of Energy (DOE) focused on AI research and development (R&D). This initiative emphasizes the development of AI systems to advance scientific computing, secure infrastructure, and protect national security, while safeguarding American interests by relying on U.S. data and facilities. With growing global investments in AI from nations like China, India, and the EU, the U.S. must act swiftly to maintain its competitive edge and ensure technological superiority through targeted, federally-backed AI efforts.
