NVIDIA is participating in the NSF's State and Regional AI Infrastructure Hubs program, which launched today to expand AI computing access and education across US universities and regional consortia. The University of Florida model from 2020, which grew to over 300 AI-focused faculty and $511 million in research awards, will serve as a national template for the program. Regional hubs will enable institutions to share computing resources, develop workforce training pathways, and connect AI research infrastructure to local economic priorities and employer needs.
Grassroots organizations like AI Salon and AI Collective have launched chapters globally since 2023 to hold conversations about AI's societal impact beyond Silicon Valley's dominant narrative. AI Salon operates in three cities with ~20-person gatherings, while AI Collective has grown to 200,000 members across 200 chapters in 50 countries, mostly run by volunteers. These groups aim to broaden AI discourse and build local agency, though critics note participants still tend to be tech-industry workers reproducing existing power imbalances rather than reaching ordinary people.
