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.

NVIDIA Graduate Fellowship Program is a grant from NVIDIA providing up to $60,000 per award to PhD students conducting research that advances accelerated computing and its applications. Now in its 25th year, the program invites nominations from doctoral students pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence, robotics, autonomous vehicles, and related fields. Recipients receive not only research funding but also access to NVIDIA technology, products, and engineering expertise, along with a mandatory in-person summer internship. Students are nominated by their faculty advisors and selected based on academic achievement and research area alignment.
CalSEED Concept Award is a grant from the California Energy Commission that provides $150,000 in funding to early-stage clean energy innovators in California. The program targets individuals, businesses, and nonprofits developing hardware, software, or integrated solutions at Technology Readiness Levels 2-4. Eligible technology areas rotate each cycle and have included battery recycling and reuse, long-duration energy storage, medium- and heavy-duty vehicle electrification, industrial electrification, and advanced EV charging. Applicants must be located in California, have under $1 million in private funding, and propose innovations that benefit California ratepayers. Concept Award winners also receive professional development resources and access to accelerator programs, and may compete for a subsequent $450,000 Prototype Award.
