NIST launches a new platform to assess generative AI


NIST, the U.S. government agency charged with testing emerging tech, has created a new platform to evaluate generative AI.

“The NIST GenAI program will issue a series of challenge problems designed to evaluate and measure the capabilities and limitations of generative AI technologies,” the press release reads. NIST GenAI’s first project is a pilot study to build systems that can reliably tell the difference between human-created and AI-generated media, starting with text. It’s also the first AI-related announcement from NIST after the appointment of Paul Christiano, a former OpenAI researcher, to the agency’s AI Safety Institute.
