The NIST has also taken other measures, including the formation of an AI safety advisory group in February this year that encompassed AI creators, users, and academics, to put some guardrails on AI use and development.
The advisory group named the US AI Safety Institute Consortium (AISIC) has been tasked with coming up with guidelines for red-teaming AI systems, evaluating AI capacity, managing risk, ensuring safety and security, and watermarking AI-generated content. Several major technology firms, including OpenAI, Meta, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Intel, and Nvidia, joined the consortium to ensure the safe development of AI.
