What US AI Safety Institute (AISI) - NIST AI Safety Evaluation Framework and International Role requires
The US AI Safety Institute (AISI), established within the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under the US Department of Commerce pursuant to President Biden's Executive Order 14110 of October 30, 2023 on Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy AI, serves as the US government's primary body for frontier AI safety evaluation and research - it has conducted pre-deployment evaluations of advanced AI models from Anthropic, OpenAI, Meta, and other leading AI developers; conducted red-team testing for dangerous capabilities including CBRN weapons uplift and cybersecurity threats; published the AI Safety Evaluations Framework; co-established the international AISI network with the UK AI Safety Institute (now DSIT AISI), which operates jointly under the Seoul AI Safety Summit Statement of Intent; despite President Trump's Executive Order 14179 of January 20, 2025 revoking EO 14110, the US AISI was not immediately abolished and continues to operate within NIST conducting AI safety research and evaluation; the US AISI's evaluation methodology, based on structured red-teaming and capability benchmarking aligned with NIST AI RMF, provides the technical basis for voluntary frontier AI developer safety evaluations that are increasingly referenced in international AI governance frameworks including the G7 Hiroshima Code of Conduct and EU AI Act Article 55 adversarial testing requirements.
