The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Department of Commerce are soliciting members for the newly created Artificial Intelligence (AI) Security Institute Consortium.

in a document published In the Federal Register on November 2, NIST announced the formation of the new AI consortium along with an official notice expressing the office's request for applicants with relevant credentials.
According to the NIST document:
"This notice is the initial step for NIST to collaborate with nonprofit organizations, universities, other government agencies, and technology companies to address the challenges associated with the development and deployment of AI."
The purpose of the collaboration is, according to the notice, to create and implement specific policies and measures to ensure that US lawmakers adopt a human-centered approach to AI safety and governance.
Contributors will be required to contribute to a long list of related functions, including the development of measurement and benchmarking tools, policy recommendations, red teaming efforts, psychoanalysis, and environmental analysis.
These efforts arise in response to a recent executive order issued by US President Joseph Biden. As Cointelegraph recently reported, the executive order established six new standards for AI safety, although none appear to have been legally enshrined.

While many European and Asian states have begun to institute policies governing the development of artificial intelligence systems, with respect to privacy, security, and the potential for unintended consequences of users and citizens, the United States has lagged comparatively behind. in this ambit.
President Biden's executive order marks some progress toward establishing so-called โtargeted policiesโ to govern AI in the United States, as well as the formation of the Security Institute Consortium.
However, there still appears to be no real timeline for the implementation of laws governing the development or implementation of AI in the US beyond legacy policies governing business and technology. many experts feel These current laws are inadequate when applied to the burgeoning AI sector.
