A symposium to discuss recent progress and next steps in AI measurement and standards

Unleashing AI Innovation, Enabling Trust Symposium

Description

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will convene a hybrid workshop on September 24-25, 2024, in Washington, D.C., to discuss recent efforts by the NIST AI Innovation Lab (NAIIL) to help unleash artificial intelligence (AI) innovations in ways which enable trust. Participants will learn about recent and ongoing efforts, and contribute to NIST’s vision for the work ahead, including opportunities to expand its collaborations with the AI community. Responsible for a variety of NIST’s AI efforts and headquartered within the agency’s Information Technology Laboratory, NAIIL advances AI measurement methods and guidelines, including their incorporation into international standards.

The one and one-half day workshop will take place at The George Washington University in Washington, D.C. In-person and remote participation is available.

The workshop will feature panelists and other participants who will spotlight and discuss the most recent developments and next steps in key issues relating to AI innovation and trust. Sessions will build on NIST’s past, ongoing, and planned efforts.
