We're excited to see that the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has cited our work in two of their latest reports on AI, as part of their actions under the US Executive Order. These reports build on NIST's AI Risk Management Framework and provide additional guidance to individuals, organizations, and society on how to manage risks associated with AI. Our indirect disclosure glossary and value chain resource were both referenced in the generative AI report, and our value chain resource was also featured in their report on foundation model risks. It's great to see our contributions recognized in the ongoing discourse on AI! #AI #GenerativeAI #NIST #ResponsibleAI Work mentioned ⬇️ 🔶Risk Mitigation Strategies for the Open Foundation Model Value Chain 👉 https://lnkd.in/dYHqmZGV 🔶Building a Glossary for Synthetic Media Transparency Methods, Part 1: Indirect Disclosure 👉 https://lnkd.in/daymgBE2 🔶AI Risk Management Framework: Generative Artificial Intelligence Profile  👉 https://lnkd.in/gF7NQQ3G 🔶Managing Misuse Risk for Dual-Use Foundation Models 👉 https://lnkd.in/gyfFdKUz 

🤖 AI is transforming our world, but are we ensuring it works for everyone? Our new blog post explores the critical need for inclusive stakeholder engagement in AI development. From biased resume screening to faulty facial recognition, we're seeing how AI can inadvertently harm marginalized communities. By involving diverse voices in the design process, we can create AI systems that are more equitable and beneficial for all. That's why PAI's Global Task Force has worked to develop a comprehensive series of Guidelines on the ethical engagement of users and the public. We look forward to publishing this work in the coming months. Read the full article and join the conversation on creating more inclusive and responsible AI. https://buff.ly/3ylwOO3 #AIEthics #InclusiveAI #ResponsibleTech #TechForGood

Open foundation models encourage an ecosystem of collaboration, accountability, and transparency that’s critical for building trustworthy and innovative #AI.  However, their open nature can present unique challenges when it comes to risk mitigation.     A new report from the Partnership on AI maps the open foundation model value chain, identifying the unique roles and responsibilities that model providers, adapters, hosting services, and app developers have to mitigate risk along the value chain.     The report also highlights the key risk mitigation strategies that every actor should adopt to ensure the safe and responsible use of open AI models.    Thank you to IBMer Saishruthi Swaminathan for her contribution to this report. This is important work for advancing AI innovation that is open, responsible, and trustworthy.     https://lnkd.in/etWtA6nu
