Establish a plan for global engagement on promoting and developing AI standards (EO Sec. 11(b))
On July 26, 2024, NIST released NIST AI 100-5, A Plan for Global Engagement on AI Standards.
NIST developed a plan for global engagement on promoting and developing AI standards. The goal is to drive the development and implementation of AI-related consensus standards, cooperation and coordination, and information sharing.
Within 180 days of the date the plan is established, the Secretary of Commerce is to submit a report to the President on priority actions taken pursuant to the plan. These efforts are to be guided by principles set out in the NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF) and the US Government National Standards Strategy for Critical and Emerging Technology, which NIST leads.
Furthermore, the Secretary of State and the Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development, in coordination with the Secretary of Commerce, acting through the director of NIST, shall publish an AI in Global Development Playbook that incorporates the AI RMF's principles, guidelines, and best practices into the social, technical, economic, governance, human rights, and security conditions of contexts beyond United States borders. (EO Sec. 11(c))
NIST welcomed inputs on this, as well as several of its responsibilities under Executive Order (EO) 14110, by responses to a Request For Information. NIST AI 100-5, A Plan for Global Engagement on AI Standards has been finalized after receiving public comments.
