Generative AI Evaluations

The NIST GenAI Program

NIST GenAI is an AI testing and evaluation (T&E) program administered by the NIST Information Technology Laboratory to assess generative AI technologies developed by communities worldwide. It provides rigorous, science-based evaluations of Generators (generative AI), Detectors (discriminative AI), and Prompters (prompt engineering) across multiple modalities (text, code, image, audio, video, multimodal). GenAI employs a dynamic and adversarial testing framework that involves various types of AI actors: Generators create synthetic data (AI content) using frontier AI models, while Detectors develop AI tools to identify whether the content is AI-generated, a Deepfake, or Watermarked. Prompters provide LLMs with inputs describing requirements for AI content to be generated, employing various prompting strategies.
