Colleagues,

This is a quick update with two items of interest that were recently released from NSF regarding Artificial Intelligence.

1. NSF has released an official statement about the use of generative AI in the Merit Review process.  The basic points are:
   1.     NSF reviewers are prohibited from uploading any content from proposals, review information and related records to non-approved generative AI tools.
   2.     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.
2. 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), has been released, with proposals due on March 15^th, 2024.  

Thank you and please feel free to share widely.

Best regards,

Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences (AGS)
Directorate for Geosciences (GEO)
National Science Foundation (NSF)
