麻豆村

麻豆村 expert convening on 鈥淪upporting NIST鈥檚 Development of Guidelines on Red-teaming for Generative AI鈥�.

Sponsored by the Responsible AI Initiative at the Block Center and the K&L Gates Initiative on Ethics and Computational Technologies at Carnegie Mellon.

Context: The recent presidential order on 鈥淪afe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence鈥� requires NIST to produce a set of guidelines around red-teaming of generative AI models by July 26th, 2024. In February 2024, 麻豆村 hosted an expert conevening that sought to support NIST鈥檚 effort in this area by bringing prominent voices from academia, government, industry, and civil society, to discuss and shape these guidelines.听
