ITI Proposes Comprehensive AI Standards to NIST for Global Safety and Innovation

The recently published document from the Information Technology Industry Council (ITI) provides comprehensive feedback to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on their request for information related to AI standards and practices. It emphasizes the importance of developing guidelines, standards, and best practices for AI safety and security, especially concerning generative AI. ITI underscores the roles of various stakeholders in the AI value chain, advocating for transparency, documentation, and the evaluation of generative AI systems. The feedback also discusses techniques for AI content authentication and the necessity of red-teaming to assess AI system vulnerabilities. Additionally, it highlights the significance of international collaboration in setting technical standards for AI, promoting a global approach to AI governance and the alignment of U.S. efforts with international standards to foster innovation and ensure AI safety and trustworthiness.
