💼 US Shifts R&D Strategy
The US administration is reforming the R&D funding system, redirecting funds from university grants to direct support for scientists and AI. As part of the "AI for Science" initiative, $5 billion is being allocated through 15 federal agencies.
🌍 The shift to a personal funding model could radically change the research landscape, stimulating talent mobility and accelerating the adoption of AI in science.
👤 The state is becoming an active sponsor of AI development, which will strengthen collaboration between Big Tech and the government and create new safety standards for frontier models.
