CAISI will also conduct assessments and other research after the models are fully deployed, CAISI said, adding the AI safety office has completed more than 40 evaluations of this nature.
The agreements build upon OpenAI and Anthropic’s agreements in 2024, which were the first of this kind. The Hill reached out to NIST to confirm these agreements would be continuing.
“Independent, rigorous measurement science is essential to understanding frontier AI and its national security implications,” CAISI Director........
