Innovation and Competitiveness in Artificial Intelligence
In May of this year NIST renamed and expanded its former "AI Safety Institute Consortium" into the NIST "Artificial Intelligence Consortium".

Participation involves a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA). Letters of interest are accepted on an ongoing basis.
