NIST works with the AI community to identify the building blocks needed to cultivate trust and ensure that AI systems are accurate, reliable, safe, secure and resilient, robust, explainable and interpretable – and that they mitigate bias while also taking into account privacy and fairness. To foster collaboration and develop a shared understanding of what constitutes trustworthy AI, NIST has been organizing a series of workshops bringing together government, industry, academia, and other stakeholders from the US and around the world. The workshops’ focus is on advancing the development of AI standards, guidelines, and related tools.
NIST released a video with more information about its role in the EO on November 9, 2023. Watch now.
NIST hosted a workshop on November 17, 2023, to engage in a conversation about artificial intelligence (AI) safety. The hybrid workshop was held at the Department of Commerce in Washington, DC, with options for virtual or in person attendance. View recording, agenda, and slides.
