NIST Launches Public Working Group on Generative AI

NIST is launching a public working group on the risks and opportunities of generative AI, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo announced Thursday. The working group will consist of volunteers with expertise in the public and private sector, NIST said. The group will build on NIST’s AI Risk Management Framework and address challenges from AI technology that generates “content, such as code, text, images, videos and music.” Applications to join the working group are due July 9. The group “will help provide essential guidance for those organizations that are developing, deploying and using generative AI, and who have a responsibility to ensure its trustworthiness,” said Raimondo.
