The Task Force on American Innovation is a non-partisan alliance of leading American companies and business associations, research university associations, and scientific societies.
We support federally-funded scientific research and promote its benefits to America’s economy, security, and quality of life. The Task Force is particularly concerned with research and educational funding in the physical sciences and engineering.

How can we ensure robots using #foundationmodels, like LLMs, won’t “hallucinate” when executing tasks in complex, previously unseen environments? Our new SAFRON Advanced Research Concept seeks ideas to make sure #robots behave only as directed & intended. https://ow.ly/lfKN50TM8g0
THE TRENDS
Federal research is falling as a share of the US economy.
As Americans become more reliant on knowledge-based industries for their health, safety, employment and living standards, we are under investing in new knowledge. It’s time to reverse this innovation deficit.
Basic research in science, technology, engineering, and math serves as the intellectual infrastructure for America’s innovation economy.
