[Huang, Tai-Yin]

Dear Colleagues,

This is a quick update from NSF regarding Artificial Intelligence and deadline extended for RFI.


  1.  NSF has released an official statement<https://new.nsf.gov/news/notice-to-the-research-community-on-ai> about the use of generative AI in the Merit Review process.  The basic points are:
     *       NSF reviewers are prohibited from uploading any content from proposals, review information and related records to non-approved generative AI tools.
     *       Proposers are encouraged to indicate in the project description the extent to which, if any, generative AI technology was used and how it was used to develop their proposal.



  1.  In an effort to explore AI in research, NSF and GEO are encouraging proposals that make use of innovative AI methods to increase scientific understanding of the Earth System.  A new solicitation, Collaborations in Artificial Intelligence and Geosciences (CAIG)<https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2024/nsf24518/nsf24518.htm>, has been released, with proposals due on March 15th, 2024.



  1.  NSF put out a request for information seeking public input from the science and engineering research and education community on implementation of NSF Public Access Plan 2.0. Ensuring Open, Immediate and Equitable Access to National Science Foundation Funded Research (nsf23104) NSF - National Science Foundation<https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2023/nsf23104/nsf23104.pdf>.  Here is the (revised) link to the Federal Register<https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/12/08/2023-26940/request-for-information-rfi-on-nsf-public-access-plan-20-ensuring-open-immediate-and-equitable> and the direct link to the Survey Monkey<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NSFpublicaccessplan> where input may be provided.
