The government’s primary agency for technology standards plans to issue a series of foundational documents on trustworthy artificial intelligence in the coming months, after spending the summer reaching out to companies, researchers and other federal agencies about how to proceed.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology’s AI Program created a testbed for assessing AI vulnerabilities and plans to release its findings sometime in 2021, said Elham Tabassi, chief of staff at the agency’s Information Technology Laboratory.

“While we understand the urgency, we want to take time to make sure that we build the needed scientific foundations,” Tabassi said, during an AI in Government event Thursday. “Otherwise developing standards too soon can hinder AI innovations that allow for evaluations and conformity assessment programs.”

Still more guidance and workshops are in the works.

“My wish list, how I see this program succeeding, is that we build a resource center — I call it a metrologist’s guide to AI — that talks about everything that you need to consider,” Tabassi said.
NIST’s guidance is intended to let agencies decide the levels of trustworthiness and risk they’re comfortable with for each technical requirement in order to come up with the best solution for their respective missions.
