"By fostering an environment of collaboration, the institute will facilitate the exchange of ideas and knowledge, leading to more comprehensive and effective innovation and safety policies," the letter reads. "If funded at $10 million for FY 2024, it is our understanding that NIST would use this initial funding to bring on additional staff, accelerate its work on testing environments, fund joint research partnerships, and support the coordination of private sector engagement in USAISI's work."
The extra federal funding would facilitate bringing on experts in red team testing for specific AI softwares to evaluate safety and cybersecurity protocols. It would also form a NIST-led Joint Research Center and support the USAISI Consortium, the latter of which will help integrate new AI-based technologies and systems in industry and society.
