Summary
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has initiated the AI Standards Zero Drafts project to advance the creation of artificial intelligence standards. This initiative, announced during NIST's AI symposium in September 2024, aims to involve a broad range of stakeholders to draft preliminary standards, referred to as "zero drafts." NIST emphasizes the urgent need for effective AI governance standards amidst rapid technological advancements and concerns about fragmentation in regulatory frameworks. The project will run until summer 2025, prioritizing community engagement through topic proposals and ongoing feedback, ultimately leading to comprehensive standards that address diverse AI needs.
