What This Grant Funds

The Fueling AI Innovation and Adoption (FAIIA) program tackles key obstacles to deploying and adopting artificial intelligence internationally. FAIIA advances the U.S. vision for AI innovation, competition, application, and governance. The program addresses several critical challenges. First, it opposes burdensome regulations that could hinder private sector innovation and undermine U.S. technological leadership. Second, it counters China’s efforts to expand its authoritarian influence through AI, which promotes pro-China narratives, creates technological dependencies, and enables censorship. Additionally, FAIIA responds to China’s false claims that the United States is restricting international partners’ access to AI solutions.
