SUMMARY:
The U.S. Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute (AISI), housed within the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) at the Department of Commerce, is seeking information and insights from stakeholders on current and future practices and methodologies for the responsible development and use of chemical and biological (chem-bio) AI models. Chem-bio AI models are AI models that can aid in the analysis, prediction, or generation of novel chemical or biological sequences, structures, or functions. We encourage respondents to provide concrete examples, best practices, case studies, and actionable recommendations where possible. Responses may inform AISI's overall approach to biosecurity evaluations and mitigations.
DATES:
Comments containing information in response to this notice must be received on or December 3, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time. Submissions received after that date may not be considered.
It seems like AI Safety organizations and individual experts have a good opportunity to influence policy here.
