The U.S. National Science Foundation, in collaboration with 10 federal agencies and 25 private sector, nonprofit, and philanthropic organizations, has launched the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR) pilot.

As part of DARPA’s Environment-driven Conceptual Learning (ECOLE) program, several university teams and industry performers will attempt to create artificial intelligence (AI) agents capable of continually learning from linguistic and visual input, the agency said in a statement. 

BAE Systems' research and development wing, Fast Labs, has landed a $7 million contract from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for its autonomous space-based target custody program, called Oversight.

Intel and UC San Diego have been selected to join DARPA's Hardening Development Toolchains Against Emergent Execution Engines (HARDEN) program.  

Darpa says it has selected multiple teams of researchers for the agency’s Automating Scientific Knowledge Extraction and Modeling (ASKEM) program.
