NIST Released Guidance on Mitigating Generative AI Risks

NIST has introduced the AI RMF Generative AI Profile (NIST AI 600-1), offering a framework to help organizations manage risks specific to generative AI. This profile identifies 12 unique risks, such as increased cybersecurity threats, the spread of misinformation, and “hallucinations” in AI outputs. The document details over 200 actions developers can implement to mitigate these risks, aligning with NIST’s AI RMF. It provides a comprehensive approach to addressing the potential harms of generative AI, ensuring safer and more responsible use.

NIST Reports First Results From Age Estimation Software Evaluation

AFR, Age verification, NIST | June 8, 2024

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has released a report on age estimation software, evaluating six algorithms. The study found no single algorithm significantly outperformed the others. NIST plans to update results every four to six weeks, anticipating improvements due to advancements in artificial intelligence. The study highlights variations in age estimates due to factors like facial expressions and eyeglasses. The evaluation used around 11.5 million photos from various U.S. government sources, emphasizing the need for ongoing testing to keep up with technological advancements.
