Leading agencies NSF and USDA-NIFA, together with other partners, have funded 25 AI institutes via the AI Institutes program, which are carrying out a broad spectrum of research of critical importance to U.S. competitiveness, food security, public safety, education, ethics, and myriad other targets. 

The Institutes also work to engage the public through various outreach and educational programs. This work can be found in the research from each AI Institute participant and was recently summarized in this special issue of AI Magazine (PDF).
