David Bakhtiari of the Green Bay Packers has recently put Democratic Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi in the spotlight for a controversial trade, continuing his trend of criticizing politicians over stock market dealings while in office.
Star Takes Aim at Pelosi’s Trade
Bakhtiari, no stranger to political commentary, had previously called out politicians for stock market gains during their tenure. Wisconsin Sports Heroics reported that last year, he highlighted a trade by Senator Dianne Feinstein on his X platform, noting her significant wealth increase over a 30-year political career.
Aaron Rodgers, Bakhtiari’s ex-teammate, supported these revelations.
AI Research Initiative
Adding to his critiques, Bakhtiari recently drew attention to Pelosi’s investment, citing a tweet by Unusual Whales about her stakes in Nvidia, Microsoft, and Google. He expressed disapproval over Nancy Pelosi’s investment strategy, which he perceives as profiting from government-backed AI projects.
The NAIRR Program
This criticism follows the announcement of the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR) program, as reported by Daniel Howley of Yahoo Finance.
Initiative Gains Support
Initiated by President Biden’s executive order, the program involves major corporations and federal agencies. Notable participants include Amazon, IBM, Intel, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, OpenAI, and Palantir, alongside DARPA, the Department of Defense, and NASA.
‘Nothing to See Here’
Bakhtiari, voicing criticism on his X platform, sarcastically remarked ‘Dope..Nothing to see here,’ indicating his disapproval of Pelosi’s investment choices amidst this government-corporate collaboration.
Trades Raise Ethical Questions
While Nancy Pelosi’s trades in Nvidia, Microsoft, and Google are legal, public reaction to David Bakhtiari’s post suggests a perceived ethical dilemma.
Boosting Economic Growth?
This initiative is aimed at democratizing access to AI technology for researchers and educators nationwide. NSF director Sethuraman Panchanathan emphasized the program’s role in maintaining the US’s leadership in AI, fostering discovery, and boosting economic growth.
NAIRR’s Vision
“By investing in AI research through the NAIRR pilot, the United States unleashes discovery and impact and bolsters its global competitiveness,” Panchanathan stated.
Shape International Standards
The NSF director added, “To continue leading in AI research and development, we must create opportunities across the country to advance AI innovation and strengthen educational opportunities, empowering the nation to shape international standards and igniting economic growth.”
AI Access for All
The NAIRR is set to serve as a centralized resource, offering hardware, models, and other tools to diverse communities, addressing the current issue of AI resources being limited to certain institutions and regions.
Bridging the AI Divide
The NSF’s NAIRR program is set to provide a shared infrastructure for AI development across the U.S. This includes facilitating advanced AI research and providing educational resources in less-resourced areas.
Tech Giants Fuel AI Education
Tech giants are contributing significantly, with offerings like research project support from Amazon and compute credits from Microsoft. These contributions, alongside those from government agencies, aim to address the issue of limited AI resource availability in smaller and rural institutions.
