The Trump administration has recently dismissed several National Science Foundation employees with expertise in AI, jeopardizing the agency’s AI research efforts. This move has led to delays in funding for AI projects, as many review panels have been postponed or canceled. AI experts have criticized these cuts to scientific grant-making, particularly those pushed by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency. In response, Musk stated that he acknowledges his mistakes and is committed to correcting them.
