Published8 February 2024

Issued by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Department of Commerce.

Summary

The U.S. AI Safety Institute Consortium was established by NIST in February 2024 to operationalise work flowing from Executive Order 14110. It convened more than 200 organisations, including AI companies, academic institutions, civil society groups, and labour unions. The consortium focused on evaluation protocols, red-teaming methods, safety guidelines, and synthetic content detection, including watermarking. It formed part of the public-private infrastructure for AI safety in the United States while state-level legislative activity expanded around safety testing, deepfakes, elections, and digital accessibility.
