NIST Releases Four AI Guidance Drafts and Generative AI Program

On April 29, 2024, the Department of Commerce announced that NIST published four drafts for public comment, pursuant to the October AI Executive Order (EO), and created the NIST GenAI program. The NIST GenAI program will evaluate and measure generative AI to promote the safe and responsible use of the technology. Registration for the pilot of the NIST GenAI program will open to generators (i.e., synthetic content creation systems) and discriminators (i.e., systems to distinguish between AI-generated and human-produced content) in May. The four draft publications are:

• AI Risk Management Framework: Generative AI Profile (NIST AI 600-1) is designed to complement NIST’s AI Risk Management Framework and focuses on risks unique to generative AI and ways to mitigate those risks.

• Secure Software Development Practices for Generative AI and Dual-Use Foundation Models (NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-218A) is a companion to NIST’s Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF) to address malicious training data and associated risks.

• Reducing Risks Posed by Synthetic Content (NIST AI 100-4) is designed to help understand generated content, including detecting, authenticating and labeling synthetic content, with a focus on transparency.

• A Plan for Global Engagement on AI Standards (NIST AI 100-5) provides guidance on development and implementation of AI-related consensus standards, cooperation and coordination, and information sharing.
