Summary
The U.S. AI Safety Institute Consortium (AISIC) held its inaugural in-person plenary meeting in December 2024, bringing together 290+ member organizations to review progress across five AI safety focus areas. Key developments included voluntary risk reporting frameworks, chemical-biological misuse evaluations, and model safeguard assessments, all conducted in partnership with NIST's U.S. AI Safety Institute.
Key Points
- •AISIC was established in February 2024 and comprises 290+ companies, academic institutions, civil society groups, and state/local governments working on AI safety.
- •Five focus areas: generative AI risk management, synthetic content, evaluations, red-teaming, and model safety and security.
- •Voluntary Reporting Template (VRT) developed to help organizations share risk management data aligned with NIST AI 600-1 (Generative AI Profile).
- •Chem-bio misuse research advanced methods for evaluating foundation model risks across capability assessment, threat modeling, and evaluation methodology.
- •Consortium serves as a formal bridge between U.S. government (NIST/US AISI) and private sector on AI safety standards and research.

On Dec. 7, 2024, members of the U.S. AI Safety Institute Consortium (AISIC) gathered for the first time in-person at the University of Maryland to review the group’s work to date and plan how the consortium can continue to serve as a bridge between the technology industry, academia, and civil society and the United States government on critical issues of AI safety research, evaluations and standards.
The consortium comprises more than 290 member companies and organizations, as well as various local and state governments. These organizations are on the frontlines of creating and using the most advanced AI systems and developing the foundational scientific research that will help us better understand how to fully harness the benefits of AI, while mitigating potential risks.
Since its creation in February, the consortium has been hard at work advancing scientific inquiry and collaborative research across five key issue areas, including: (1) generative AI risk management, (2) synthetic content, (3) evaluations, (4) red-teaming, and (5) model safety and security.
This ongoing collaboration is done in close partnership with government scientists and technical experts from the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) U.S. AI Safety Institute (US AISI) and AI Innovation Lab with the goal of helping to advance the science of AI safety and inform the U.S. government’s efforts to enable trustworthy AI innovation.
“It’s rare to see such a broad swath of companies, academic institutions, and civil society organizations selflessly working with one another and with the government in the service of a common goal,” said Under Secretary of C
