CAISI Partners with Tech Giants for AI Security Testing
The Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology has announced new agreements with Google DeepMind, Microsoft, and xAI to conduct pre-deployment evaluations and research on frontier AI capabilities. These collaborations aim to assess AI models' security implications before they are publicly available. CAISI, under the direction of Secretary Howard Lutnick, serves as the primary government contact for AI system testing and best practice development. The agreements allow for government evaluation of AI models, supporting information-sharing and voluntary product improvements.
