Letter Excerpt:
We write today on behalf of the Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA) and the Texas Water Association in response to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) NITRD NCO request for information regarding the development of a 2025 National Artificial Intelligence Research and Development Strategic Plan (AI Strategic Plan). Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers many potential societal, strategic, and economic benefits to the nation. These benefits do not occur in a vacuum and AI also presents potential challenges that need to be considered and managed. We write to request that the NSF consider the connection between and AI water supply as part of the AI Strategic Plan.
