Arvind Krishna, CEO of IBM, Advocates for Increased Federal R&D Funding for AI

Arvind Krishna, CEO of IBM, is among the tech leaders pushing for an increase in federal funding for research and development (R&D) in artificial intelligence (AI) and related technologies. In a recent interview with JS, Krishna emphasized the importance of boosting federally funded R&D to drive innovation and maintain America’s competitiveness in the global tech landscape.

Contrary to the current administration’s agenda, which has seen deep cuts to science funding and research programs, Krishna believes that investing in R&D is crucial for the country’s economic growth and technological advancement. He expressed IBM’s unwavering support for increasing federal funding in this area.

Impact of Budget Cuts on AI Research

The Trump administration’s budget proposals for fiscal year 2026 include significant reductions in funding for key AI research programs, such as the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. These cuts jeopardize billions of dollars allocated to AI R&D projects across various federal agencies.

Furthermore, the administration’s plan to slash funding for the NSF by over half has raised concerns about the future of AI research and development in the country. The potential consequences of these budget cuts extend to other critical areas like semiconductor production, as seen in the threatened CHIPS Act.

Industry Response and Outlook

Industry groups, including The Software and Information Industry Association, have voiced their opposition to the budget cuts, warning that they could undermine America’s leadership in AI. The potential impact on the economy and technological innovation has prompted calls for increased federal R&D funding to support ongoing research efforts.

Despite the challenges posed by the current budget climate, Krishna remains optimistic about the future of federally funded R&D. He believes that within a year, the government will prioritize investments in AI, quantum computing, and semiconductor technologies to drive growth and innovation.

IBM, which has felt the effects of federal cutbacks with the cancellation of several contracts, remains committed to advancing technology through research and collaboration. Krishna emphasizes the positive impact of federal funding on the economy and the importance of investing in technologies that will shape the future.

As the debate over federal R&D funding continues, stakeholders in the tech industry are closely watching developments to ensure that America remains at the forefront of innovation and technological advancement.
