Johns Hopkins APL has joined the newly formed U.S. AI Safety Institute Consortium (AISIC), launched by the U.S. Department of Commerce to unify efforts from industry, academia and government to establish standards and practices for artificial intelligence (AI) safety and assurance. https://jhuapl.link/c87 The JHU Institute for Assured Autonomy (IAA), run jointly by APL and the Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering, is leading The Johns Hopkins University's involvement. This first-ever consortium dedicated to AI safety aligns with President Biden’s executive order to bolster AI safety standards and innovation protection. “Joining AISIC aligns perfectly with our mission to ensure AI technologies are developed and deployed with the highest standards of effectiveness, safety and reliability,” said Jane Pinelis, chief AI engineer in APL’s Applied Information Sciences Branch of the Asymmetric Operations Sector. “We are excited to contribute our expertise in AI assurance and risk management to this vital national effort." #JHUAPL | #ArtificialIntelligence | #safety | #technology | #EthicalStandards | #AssuredAutonomy
