TechNet has announced its support for the Future of AI Innovation Act and the AI Advancement and Reliability Act. These bills aim to establish the U.S. AI Safety Institute (AISI) within NIST permanently. The AISI focuses on developing standardized metrics for frontier AI, improving testing and validation methods, and supporting global coordination on AI safety issues.

Several TechNet members are involved in the AISI’s Consortium, which provides private sector support for creating science-based and empirically backed AI safety guidelines.

“AI holds tremendous promise for improving jobs, health, climate, and infrastructure,” said Linda Moore, President and CEO of TechNet. “The AISI will ensure the U.S. maintains a robust, scientific approach to mitigating potential risks and developing safeguards so we can advance the limitless potential of this technology for generations to come.”
