White House touts new AI safety consortium: Over 200 leading firms to test and evaluate models


The Biden Administration announced the creation of the US AI Safety Institute Consortium (AISIC) with over 200 leading firms on board.

A NIST blog post said the AISIC “represents the largest collection of test and evaluation teams established to date and will focus on establishing the foundations for a new measurement science in AI safety.” It will function under the USAISI and will “contribute to priority actions outlined in President Biden’s landmark Executive Order, including developing guidelines for red-teaming, capability evaluations, risk management, safety and security, and watermarking synthetic content.” In addition, in mid-December House Science Committee lawmakers from both parties sent a letter to NIST that Politico reported “ chastised the agency for a lack of transparency and for failing to announce a competitive process for planned research grants related to the new U.S. AI Safety Institute.” VentureBeat's mission is to be a digital town square for technical decision-makers to gain knowledge about transformative enterprise technology and transact.
