AS FEDS STAND UP FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND AI RESEARCH CONSORTIUM, SCHUMER INVITES BIDEN ADMINISTRATION TO BUFFALO AND UPSTATE NY TO SEE FIRSTHAND HOW REGION IS PREPARED TO LEAD IN AI INNOVATION FOR AMERICA

Statement

“The future of AI is already being developed and built in Upstate New York. As the federal government looks to stand up its first-of-its-kind new AI research program, I want key federal science, technology and economic development officials to see firsthand how the region is primed to ensure America is ahead of the curve on AI development. By hearing directly from some of the top scientific minds about their cutting-edge research and innovation on AI, which is already spurring development and creating new jobs in a field of the future right here in New York, the Biden administration will see that Upstate New York has cemented its position as a leader on AI.

Upstate New York, and cities like Buffalo, are leading the nation on AI innovation and can take us to the next frontier of this technology. The algorithm that has put Upstate New York on the top of the list for AI is clear: world-renowned AI research centers, a federal Tech Hubs designation I worked hard to secure, the onshoring of semiconductor manufacturing, and millions in federal funding from my Chips & Science Act that Upstate New York is benefitting from. This exciting National AI Research pilot program represents a unique opportunity to ensure the technology that is going to revolutionize our world is built in America, and nowhere is more prepared to further that mission than New York.”
