Frontier Research on Mitigating Risks from Synthetic Content A Call to Action | NIST https://www. nist. gov/caisi/frontier-research-mitigating-risks-synthetic-content-call-action Frontier Research on Mitigating Risks from Synthetic Content A Call to Action Mitigating risks from synthetic content is a priority of the US AI Safety Institute’s focus on advancing the science of AI safety .
It is also a focus of the first convening of the international network of AI Safety Institutes on November 20-21, 2024 . The AI technical and academic community has developed a variety of techniques for addressing these risks, including approaches to digital watermarking, authentication and provenance, detection of synthetic material, digital personhood authentication, and safeguards for models in generating harmful outputs.
Despite these techniques, challenges remain, from how to improve the robustness of watermarks, to security gaps in the content authentication ecosystem, to how the adoption of content authentication mechanisms may impact information ecosystems internationally.
There is furthermore a pressing need for social science research on the systemic impact of the use and misuse of synthetic content, e.g., the effect of synthetic content on information integrity and trust; the effect of using generative AI in domains such as education, counseling, and caregiving; and how to address the use of generation AI for fraud and impersonation.
The U.S. AI Safety Institute calls upon all stakeholders – public and private funders in addition to academic, civil society, and industry scholars – to support and pursue urgent and actionable research on mitigating the risks of synthetic content in order to improve AI safety and enable innovation that benefits all.
As part of the AI Safety Institute’s efforts to support important and actionable research on mitigating risks from synthetic content, we are inviting broad input on identifying salient risks, assessing systemic impact, supporting novel approaches as well as improvements in existing techniques, and opportunities to direct resources of human and financial capital toward advancing AI safety in the domain of synthetic content.
There is special but not exclusive interest in research related to the risks outlined in NIST AI 100-4, Reducing Risks Posed By Synthetic Content: An Overview of Technical Approaches to Digital Content Transparency.

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.
