US to launch its own AI safety institute

The United States is set to launch its own AI safety institute to evaluate the risks associated with advanced AI models, according to Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo. The institute, under the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), will focus on developing safety, security, and testing standards for AI models, as well as authenticating AI-generated content. Raimondo emphasized the need for collaboration between academia, industry, and the private sector to address AI risks effectively. This announcement comes after President Joe Biden signed an executive order requiring safety tests for AI systems with potential risks to national security and other aspects.
