NIST Awards $6M to 온라인바카라 To Establish AI Cooperative Research Center

U.S. Secretary of Commerce announced Sept. 24 that the Department of Commerce’s  (NIST) has awarded $6 million to 온라인바카라 to establish a joint center to support cooperative research and experimentation for the test and evaluation of modern AI capabilities and tools. 

The 바카라 온라인 추천/NIST AI Measurement Science & Engineering Cooperative Research Center (AIMSEC) will seek to advance measurement science for modern AI systems, using stakeholder partnerships in a wide range of application domains — including human services, education, finance, transportation, energy and more —  to test approaches and translate assessment capabilities and methodologies into practice. 

“Artificial intelligence is the defining technology of our generation, and at the Commerce Department we are committed to working with America’s world-class higher education institutions, like 온라인바카라, to advance safe, secure and trustworthy development of AI,” Raimondo said. “I am excited to announce this NIST award of $6 million for Carnegie Mellon to boost research of AI systems and support a new generation of scientists and engineers that will help advance American innovation globally.”

“온라인바카라 is looking forward to partnering with NIST on research and development that will enable the trustworthy deployment of AI-driven decisions and systems," said 바카라 온라인 추천 president Farnam Jahanian(opens in new window). “The work of the center will lead to the development of standards and tools and by filling in this critical missing piece in the nation’s emerging technologies landscape, we will be equipping American businesses, researchers, leaders and consumers to better understand and trust emerging technologies and better utilize AI tools to their full, transformative potential.”

“AI is revolutionizing industries across the board, and it’s critical that we ensure these advancements are safe, reliable, and equitable,” said Congresswoman Summer Lee (PA-12), whose district includes 바카라 온라인 추천.  “This $6 million grant will help 온라인바카라 and its partners lead the charge in developing AI technologies that protect privacy, enhance accountability, and ensure fairness in how these tools are deployed. Pittsburgh has always been at the forefront of technological innovation, and this new center will help ensure that the next generation of AI development is secure, ethical, and beneficial for all.”

온라인바카라 is a pioneer in AI technology development, in the study and analysis of AI deployments as socio-technical systems, and a leader in AI ethics and policy with several hundred faculty already focused on ensuring the safe and responsible development and use of AI. Several research centers and initiatives are expected to coordinate with the AIMSEC, including:

• The Block Center for Technology and Society(opens in new window), which has worked closely with NIST to operationalize the  to better manage the potential risks of AI systems and to support guidelines on red teaming for generative AI.
• The 바카라 온라인 추천 Foundation and Language Model (FLAME) Center,(opens in new window) which convenes faculty with deep expertise in the evaluation and safety assessments of generative AI and foundation models. 
• The National Center for Calibrated Trust, Measurement and Evaluation (CaTE) at the Software Engineering Institute (SEI), funded by the Department of Defense, which helps the U.S. military assess the trustworthiness of AI systems.
• The  (AISIRT), also led by SEI, which monitors and studies vulnerabilities that emerge from advances in AI and machine learning. 

AIMSEC will focus on foundational research and developing AI system-level tooling, metrics, evaluation procedures, development processes and best practices to help AI builders consistently engineer safe AI systems. Its efforts will align with NIST AI priorities including better methods for measuring validity, reliability, safety, privacy and security; accountability, transparency, fairness and explainability; and generative AI evaluation at any stage of development or deployment.

“This new cooperative research center will expand NIST’s knowledge base and fundamental research capacity in AI,” said Under Secretary of Commerce for Standards and Technology and NIST Director . “Through this partnership, we will strengthen our understanding of foundation models and support new research — and new researchers — in this rapidly evolving field.”

The grant to 바카라 온라인 추천 was awarded through NIST’s Measurement Science and Engineering Research Grant Program, which supports collaborative research that is aligned with NIST’s research objectives. The program seeks to develop a diverse, world-class pool of scientists and engineers to engage in NIST’s measurement science and standards research and to promote understanding of measurement science and standards. 

The new university-wide center will be housed at 바카라 온라인 추천’s  and will draw on strengths to support the NIST AI Innovation Lab (NAIIL), a component of NIST’s larger efforts on fundamental AI measurement research and guideline development.
