NIST Announces Establishment of NIST's GenAI Program

Summary
On April 29, 2024, NIST announced the establishment of NIST GenAI, a new program to evaluate and measure generative AI technologies. The GenAI pilot study, which is under the GenAI umbrella program, aims to measure and understand system behavior for distinguishing between synthetic and human-generated content in the text-to-text and text-to-image modalities. Registration for the pilot of the NIST GenAI program will be open to generators (i.e., synthetic content creation systems) and discriminators (i.e., systems to distinguish between AI-generated and human-produced content). This pilot study will provide valuable lessons for future guidance for responsible and safe use of digital content. The submission deadline for this study is in August 2024.
