and 
collaborations 
among subject matter experts in relevant fields, in-
cluding computer science, mathematics, statistics, 
engineering, social sciences, psychology, behavioral 
science, ethics, security, legal scholarship, and other 
disciplines that will be necessary to advance artificial 
intelligence research and development responsibly. 
(5) Support for partnerships to leverage knowl-
edge, computing resources, access to open datasets, 
and other resources from industry, government, non-
profit organizations, Federal laboratories, State pro-
grams, and institutions of higher education to ad-
vance activities under the Initiative.
