Description

THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY for the purpose of conducting market research and does not constitute a solicitation or a promise to issue a solicitation. Responses are voluntary and will be used to inform strategic planning, program design, and future funding mechanisms. SUMMARY: In accordance with Section 50404 of Public Law 119-21, the Department of Energy (DOE) intends to establish a public-private consortium to curate DOE scientific data across the National Laboratory complex for use in artificial intelligence (AI) models and to develop self-improving AI models for science and engineering using this data. These models must be provided to the scientific community through a system of United States government, academic, and private-sector programs and infrastructure which includes the use of cloud technologies. This historic mobilization of DOE, the National Laboratories[1], and private partners will serve as a force multiplier in executing America�s AI Action Plan[2] to achieve global dominance in AI, and to advance scientific discovery, energy, and national security. DOE seeks input from: Institutions, including businesses of all sizes, developing leading-edge AI models and interested in leveraging DOE data, facilities, and/or expertise. Institutions, including businesses of all sizes, interested in partnering with DOE and the National Laboratories, potentially in combination with AI developers, to develop AI models with enhanced capabilities. Think tanks, investors, and research organizations. And other interested entities. Submission Instructions: Responses should not exceed 5 pages, including attachments or cover letters, except as noted below. Please include: Organization name and point of contact. Optionally, responses may include an appendix providing feedback or changes to specific terms and conditions or DOE policy, including to DOE�s standard patent and data rights as noted above or to the RTES requirements in Appendix I. Providing alternate wording, along with a rationale for that wording, addressing the purpose of each provision that would not impede quickly and effectively establishing AI partnerships is encouraged. This appendix is not included in the page-count limit noted above. Responses should be submitted electronically to AICommunityInput@science.doe.gov and include �Transformational Artificial Intelligence Models� in the subject line of the email. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Questions may be addressed to the DOE Office of Science AI Team through AICommunityInput@science.doe.gov.
