The National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute is seeking information on the development of chemical and biology-focused artificial intelligence models. In a Federal Register posting Friday, the AISI said it is specifically interested in potential benchmarks and evaluation tools for understanding these models, as well as guidance on mitigating the kind of security risks they might raise. https://lnkd.in/e5QSukjR

The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking expertise from the public regarding the implementation of a framework for artificial intelligence governance and mitigating the technology’s risks. The request for information, published last week, is part of an overarching goal to implement AI across the VA. The RFI notes that the agency seeks to minimize safety risks that involve privacy while leveraging the technology to enhance services and care to veterans. That “proactive approach,” the VA says, is aimed at preventing potential issues and “establishing a robust, responsive governance structure that includes policies, processes and guidance to address and resolve problems that may arise.” https://lnkd.in/egS8Umq3

Following a facial recognition pilot with the single sign-on platform, the GSA announced that the verification tech is now generally available. https://lnkd.in/ehKQ7FK4

Lisa Einstein, the cyber agency’s chief AI officer, made the case at two D.C. events for “strong human processes” when using the technology. https://lnkd.in/gerWmYZC

The Energy Department could be a key force in counteracting the “profit motive” driving America’s leading artificial intelligence companies, the agency’s second-in-command said in an interview. DOE Deputy Secretary David Turk told FedScoop that top AI firms aren’t motivated to pursue all the use cases most likely to benefit the public, leaving the U.S. government — which maintains a powerful network of national labs now developing artificial intelligence infrastructure of their own — to play an especially critical role. https://lnkd.in/gJeCwhNf

Honored to be recognized with such a distinguished group of colleagues!
