DOE asks for input on AI model development

Although not explicitly connected to the Genesis Mission, the Department of Energy has issued a request for information (RFI) on Partnerships for Transformational Artificial Intelligence Models. DOE plans (again, separate from the Genesis Mission) “to establish a public-private consortium to curate DOE scientific data across the National Laboratory complex for use in artificial intelligence (AI) models and to develop self-improving AI models for science and engineering using this data.” DOE asks about using DOE data “potentially in combination with data from other partners” and “what intellectual property rights, e.g., invention and data, for the Government, National Laboratories, and partners and developers would best promote AI dominance and enable, not hinder, innovation.” STM is still reviewing a potential response. Comments are due by January 14.
