article:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Renaming and Redirection<\/strong>: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has renamed its AI Safety Consortium to the NIST Artificial Intelligence Consortium, continuing a shift in approach towards the technology which favors innovation over safety.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>New Scope and Expansion<\/strong>: The group will retain some of its past activities but now aims to broaden its scope and invite new member organizations to enhance AI measurement efforts and innovation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Recent History<\/strong>: This change follows a year-long name shift from AI Safety Institute to Centre for AI Standards and Innovation, reflecting a move from focusing on safety to fostering technological development.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Lack of Transparency<\/strong>: Since its establishment in 2024, details about the consortium\u2019s meetings, goals, or accomplishments have not been publicly shared, despite having grown to around 280 members.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Task Groups Formation<\/strong>: The new consortium structure will feature six task groups focused on crucial areas such as testing and evaluation, risks and impacts of AI, measurement science, and more.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Member Recruitment<\/strong>: NIST is actively seeking additional organizations with technical capabilities to join the consortium on a first-come, first-served basis, expecting current members to amend their participation agreements to reflect the shift in focus.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This summary focuses on the key points and changes while maintaining a respectful tone towards the efforts by NIST.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NIST AI consortium reemerges with new name, scope and call for members
