Artificial intelligence | NIST https://www. nist. gov/artificial-intelligence NIST promotes innovation and cultivates trust in the design, development, use and governance of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and systems in ways that enhance economic security, competitiveness, and quality of life.
NIST advances a risk-based approach to maximize the benefits of AI while minimizing its potential negative consequences. NIST efforts focus on fundamental research to improve AI measurement science, standards, and related tools — including benchmarks and evaluations. NIST has a nonregulatory measurement science mission that encourages engagement with industry and others who voluntarily adopt its guidance.
Securing AI Data Center: Architecture, Security Posture, and Emerging Standards Workshop Data centers are the computing infrastructure that powers the training and inference of AI and have become a critical element of national security, economic strength, and technological dominance.
To address the urgent need for robust technical standards outlined in America’s AI Action Plan, NIST and the High Performance Computing Modernization Program are proud to host a virtual workshop on this topic on July 22-23. Learn more or register to attend.
Conducts fundamental research, emphasizing measurements and risk management: NIST’s AI portfolio includes fundamental research to build the scientific foundation for AI measurements, evaluations, standards, and guidelines — including software, hardware, human interaction and teaming, and all relevant intersections and interfaces.
Enables effective use of AI across government agencies: NIST develops guidelines, tools, and benchmarks that support responsible use of AI. This includes operationalizing the AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF) and advancing use-inspired AI that bolsters innovations across NIST's research portfolio.
Lays the foundation for risk-based AI governance that enables innovation: NIST's AI work is anchored in the AI RMF , a guide to managing AI-associated risks to individuals, organizations and society. A suite of guidelines is hosted by the NIST AI Resource Center .
Creates reliable, interoperable, and widely accepted methods to measure and evaluate AI: NIST develops tests for and runs AI-related evaluations , like those carried out by NIST GenAI . Promotes development of voluntary AI technical standards: NIST leads and participates in the development of technical standards , including international standards, that promote innovation and public trust in systems that use AI.
In addition, NIST serves as the federal government's AI standards coordinator. Contributes to national and international discussions on AI governance: NIST lends its scientific and technical expertise as a neutral convener of organizations with disparate views about AI matters, and participates actively in national and global discussions about AI. Experience: 120+ years of experience in research, development and standards.
That includes widely recognized work advancing measurements, tools, standards and test beds that underlie trustworthy AI technologies. Expertise: NIST draws upon a highly specialized workforce across many scientific and technical domains. Collaborative approach: NIST works closely with organizations across the U.S. and globally through proactive engagements from start to finish.
Partnerships are key. NIST’s work is driven by Congressional mandates, Presidential Executive Orders and federal policies, and the input and needs expressed by U.S. industry, the global research community, other federal agencies, and the broader AI community — as well as by NIST’s experience and its own capabilities.
The agency's efforts are carried out across the NIST laboratories and programs, working closely with the broader AI community.

NIST is pausing all submissions under the CRDO Broad Agency Announcement (2025-NIST-CHIPS-CRDO-01) on September 15, 2026 for system upgrades — no white papers, no pre-negotiation packages, no investment fund applications until roughly November. Here is what the pause means for a $10M-minimum rolling BAA that runs through 2029, and how to use the dark window.
Read articleThe FY2026 MEP Center State Competition ran in two rounds: eight states worth $139.1 million, then fourteen more worth $232.4 million, both closing August 21, 2026. That's 43 percent of the national network recompeted in twelve months, under a 50 percent non-federal cost share, while the administration's own budget request proposed eliminating the program. Here's what the award tables reveal, why incumbents are genuinely at risk, and how to position for the FY2027 wave.
Read articleNIST's July 2026 MEP funding opportunity opens 14 state and territory centers — from California's $15.6M to Alaska's $706K — to new operators under cooperative agreements requiring a 50% nonfederal match. Applications are due August 21, 2026, with a July 28 webinar. Here is who can compete, how the match works, and why this recompete matters for every small manufacturer in those 14 states.
