Abstract

Recognizing the importance of technical standards in shaping development and use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the President's October 2023 Executive Order on the Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence (EO 14110) calls for "a coordinated effort...to drive the development and implementation of AI-related consensus standards, cooperation and coordination, and information sharing" internationally. Specifically, the EO tasks the Secretary of Commerce to "establish a plan for global engagement on promoting and developing AI standards... guided by principles set out in the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and United States Government National Standards Strategy for Critical and Emerging Technology" (NSSCET). This plan, prepared with broad public and private sector input, fulfills the EO's mandate. The plan will be followed by an implementation plan describing the engagement actions that NIST and other U.S. government agencies will take over the next 180 days.
