IST joins the World Economic Forum’s AI Governance Alliance
The Institute for Security and Technology (IST) is excited to announce our new membership in the World Economic Forum’s AI Governance Alliance, formed to champion responsible global design and release of transparent and inclusive AI systems. This partnership complements IST’s long-standing work on the safety and security implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities, which began in 2015 with series of multistakeholder efforts on integration of AI into nuclear command and control, and have most recently included this week’s report on the opportunities and risks of foundation model open access.
