NIST Sets Draft Guidelines for Government AI

This is the first formal step in writing the standards that will guide the implementation of AI technologies within the federal government.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued a draft guideline for developing artificial intelligence (AI) technical standards, the first major, formal step in writing the standards that will guide the procurement and implementation of AI and machine learning technologies within the federal government. And because many private organizations base their decisions on NIST documents, those standards could have repercussions that reach far beyond government purchasing.
Within the
draft guideline
are sections that deal with a wide variety of topics around AI, including how AI applications are developed, how AI is explained to stakeholders and the public, and how AI applications are used. Security plays a role in several aspects of the proposal, from how to build trustworthy AI applications to ensuring that AIs use takes both proper security and proper concern for privacy into account.
The NIST Guideline has been developed as part of the response to
the American AI Initiative
, established by executive order in February. Within five key areas of emphasis set out in the order, one called for NIST to lead the development of appropriate technical standards for reliable, robust, trustworthy, secure, portable, and interoperable AI systems. Formal
comments on the draft
are being accepted through July 19.
