Highlights from our ongoing analysis
- This report examines R&D investments made by the U.S. federal government on Artificial Intelligence and related technologies through SBIR/STTR, Grants, and Other Transactions Awards during FY2018-FY2022. The next version of our analysis will include the RDT&E awards.
- Some high-level insights include:
- Over $10B spent on AI-related R&D by the U.S. federal government signifying a 346% growth during FY2018-FY2022
- Approximately 80% of AI-related federal R&D awards were made through grants worth $8B during FY18-FY22. During the same time period, $1.8B worth of SBIR/STTR awards were awarded for AI-related R&D awards.
- Use Cases - Market verticals where technology adoption is highest include Aerospace & Defense, Energy, Agriculture, Healthcare, and IT & Telecom. Examples of high-frequency use cases being invested include Unmanned Systems, Air Traffic Management, Energy Distribution Optimization, Smart Grids, Precision Farming, Patient Monitoring, Predictive Analytics, Image Recognition and Text Classification, etc.
- Agencies - DOD and NSF have spent more than 54% of the R&D awards for Trusted AI & Autonomy category. Within DOD, the Dept. of Air Force, Navy, Army, DARPA, and MDA are making the most R&D investments. Other prominent civilian agencies include HHS, DOE, and NASA which comprises $4.1B worth of AI-related awards.
- Program Offices – More than 420 Program Offices in transaction with the different contracting channels were identified for the Trusted AI & Autonomy category.
- 3.2K+ Suppliers and Research Institutions were awarded AI-related R&D awards during FY18-FY22. Only 31% of awardees were underserved. The SBIR/STTR program has utilized the highest proportion of underserved suppliers with 47%, OTAs utilized 24% underserved suppliers whereas grants had the lowest share of underserved suppliers at 20%.
- Emerging Regional Innovation Clusters - Various innovation clusters are emerging in regions such as Boston-Cambridge-Newton (MA-NH), New York-Newark-Jersey City (NY-NJ-PA), Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, (DC-VA-MD-WV), Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim (CA), etc. These R&D innovation “hotbeds” have attracted the highest proportion of R&D investments.
