Summary

NIST AI 100-5 establishes the U.S. government's strategy for international engagement on AI standardization, developed under Executive Order 14110. It outlines priority topics for AI standards work, desired outcomes for global cooperation, and positions the AI Safety Institute as the central coordinating body for advancing trustworthy, safe, and fair AI through standardization efforts.

Key Points

•Developed under EO 14110, coordinating across Commerce, State, USAID, and other U.S. agencies with multistakeholder input from 65+ comments
•Positions NIST's AI Safety Institute as the central body for building science and standards necessary for safe, secure, and trustworthy AI
•Identifies priority topics for international AI standardization including reliability, safety, transparency, explainability, and fairness
•Outlines desired outcomes from global engagement on AI standards to ensure consistent, interoperable frameworks across nations
•Reflects July 2024 U.S. government posture on AI governance infrastructure ahead of major international standards negotiations

About AI at NIST: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) develops measurements,
technology, tools, and standards to advance reliable, safe, transparent, explainable, privacy-enhanced,
and fair artificial intelligence (AI) so that its full commercial and societal benefits can be realized without
harm to people or the planet. NIST, which has conducted both fundamental and applied work on AI for
more than a decade, is also helping to fulfill the 2023 Executive Order on Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy
AI. NIST established the U.S. AI Safety Institute and the companion AI Safety Institute Consortium to
continue the efforts set in motion by the E.O. to build the science necessary for safe, secure, and
trustworthy development and use of AI.
About this document: In accordance with Section 11(b) of Executive Order 14110 on Safe, Secure, and
Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence, this plan has been developed by the
Department of Commerce in coordination with the Department of State and agencies across the U.S.
Government. In December 2023, NIST released a Request for Information on selected tasks related to EO
14110. More than 65 comments addressing AI standards were received. Multistakeholder listening
sessions covering multiple sectors were held with representatives of federal and non-U.S. governments,
businesses, academia, and civil society, which provided further input and comments. These inputs were
reviewed and combined with insights from across NIST, other agencies in the Department of Commerce,
the Department of State, United States Agency for International Development, and other departments
and agencies into an initial public draft, released in April 2024 for public comment. This document has
been revised from the initial public draft based on the 57 comments received and based on a discussion
about the draft with the AI Safety Institute Consortium.
