The U.S. Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute (AISI), part of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under the Department of Commerce, is asking for public comments on an updated draft document titled Managing Misuse Risk for Dual-Use Foundation Models. This draft is an update related to Executive Order 14110, which emphasizes the safe, secure, and trustworthy use and development of AI. The document, identified as NIST AI 800-1, includes new guidelines for handling risks associated with chemical, biological, and cyber misuse. Comments are due by March 15, 2025, and can be submitted online through specified platforms or by email.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. government wants to make sure that people use AI safely, so they wrote some rules and now they're asking everyone to tell them what they think about these rules by March 15, 2025. They're especially careful about how AI could be misused, kind of like making sure no one uses a toy in a bad way.
