It issued its final report in March 2021, saying that the U.S. is not sufficiently prepared to defend or compete against China in the AI era. The report's recommendations include: dramatically increasing non-defense federal spending on AI research and development, doubling every year from $2 billion in 2022, to $32 billion in 2026.
