The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology’s request for information seeks input from AI companies and the public on generative AI risk management and reducing the risks of AI-generated misinformation.
The United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) within the U.S. Department of Commerce has released a request for information to support its duties outlined in the latest presidential executive order concerning the secure and responsible development and use of artificial intelligence (AI).
