The GUARD Act would allow the Secretary of Defense to establish one or more artificial intelligence research institutes at eligible host institutions. An eligible host institution must be a senior military college. The institutes would focus on AI research related to national security and defense, build partnerships across organizations, support research and education, and help develop the U.S. AI workforce. The Defense Department could provide competitive, merit-based financial assistance for five years, with one possible renewal of up to five years. Recipients and subrecipients must be based in the United States.
The bill could support research, training, and AI workforce development through eligible institutes. It does not create a direct benefit for individuals.
The bill does not specify funding amounts. It authorizes the Defense Department to seek to award financial assistance for the institutes.
