?? The U.S. launches AI Safety Institute (USAISI) ?️! Spearheaded by NIST, it's a game-changer in AI safety & trust ?. Global leadership & collaboration at its best!??

A Leap into AI Safety and Trust In an era brimming with technological advancements, the Biden-Harris Administration has taken a monumental step. The U.S. Department of Commerce, guided by President Biden’s vision, is establishing the U.S. Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute (USAISI). This groundbreaking initiative, spearheaded by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), is set to become the epicenter of the U.S. government’s efforts in ensuring AI safety and trust.

USAISI: Setting the Standard USAISI’s mission is multifaceted and ambitious. It aims to develop rigorous standards for AI safety, security, and testing. A notable task includes the creation of guidelines for authenticating AI-generated content. Moreover, the institute will provide a platform for researchers to evaluate emerging AI risks and mitigate known impacts. This initiative is not a solo endeavor; USAISI will collaborate with academia, industry, and government partners, drawing on a wealth of expertise.

Global Cooperation and Leadership In a move that exemplifies global cooperation, USAISI will align its efforts with similar institutes, such as the UK’s AI Safety Institute. This announcement aligns with U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo’s participation in the AI Safety Summit 2023 alongside Vice President Kamala Harris.

Visionaries at the Helm Secretary Gina Raimondo emphasized the Department of Commerce’s commitment to advancing AI for the common good, aligning with President Biden’s swift actions. Under Secretary of Commerce for Standards and Technology and NIST Director Laurie E. Locascio expressed enthusiasm for NIST’s pivotal role, highlighting the institute’s potential to unify industry, civil society, and government in managing AI risks.

A History of Leadership Secretary Raimondo has been instrumental in shaping AI safety initiatives, including securing voluntary commitments from leading American companies and influencing the G-7 Principles and Code of Conduct. Her advocacy, along with Secretary Blinken, underscores the U.S.’s commitment to pioneering safe and responsible AI.

The establishment of USAISI marks a significant milestone in the U.S.’s journey towards harnessing the transformative power of AI while safeguarding against its risks. This initiative propels the nation to the forefront of global leadership in AI safety and trust.

  2. Chill homie, chill! The old man is trying to act all smooth like a cool cat. Can you believe it? Me, a lifelong Democrat, now turned into a die-hard Republican because of Biden. Haha, "The Old Man and His Black Funeral Suit“ should be New York Times best seller.


    The US committing to any shit to advancing the common good is the hoax of the millennuim!

    1. Welcome to the right side, brother, welcome. Here's my welcoming gift:

      There was this kid who was outside the Democratic fundraiser, selling kittens. When the people came out from the fundraiser, he held up the kittens and said, 'Buy a Democrat kitten.' A couple of weeks later, the Republicans held a fundraiser in the same place. When they came out, the same kid was there with the kittens, saying, 'Buy a Republican kitten.' One of the members of the press, who had seen him there two weeks before, asked, 'Wait a minute, kid. You were selling these kittens as Democrat kittens last time. How come they're Republican kittens now?' The kid replied, 'Because now they've got their eyes open

  3. I can't understand why the world is so concerned about AI now. Is it because of ChatGPT and generative AIs? Where were they before? I'm pretty sure that these things aren't even scary AIs. Don't get me wrong, safety and regulation for ethical use are necessary, even for the kitchen knife, which has been one of our earliest inventions a millennia ago. But when everyone is fixated on generative AI, the real AI is forgotten, and I fear that we are delaying its progress due to this undeserved hysteria from politicians, investors, the public, and institutions. It seems like the path to real AI is at a standstill, and we are getting lost in the marvels of generative AIs.
