Senator Todd Young believes the United States is in a space race, except this new race has to do with technology and making sure the U.S. stays ahead of China in that regard.
Young is pushing his Endless Frontier Act before lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
It would bolster U.S. leadership in critical technologies through fundamental research in artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, and advanced manufacturing.
The bill would pump money in to programs at major colleges and universities throughout the U.S. to invest in education surrounding these emerging technologies.
