  • New Program at NIST to Advance Sociotechnical Testing for AI

    The new Assessing Risks and Impacts of AI (ARIA) program will assess the societal risks and impacts of artificial intelligence systems; what happens when people interact with AI regularly in real settings. The new program is intended to help improve understanding of artificial intelligence’s capabilities and impacts. The results of ARIA will support the U.S.…

  • AI Tool Assists Wildland Firefighting

    NOAA (National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Association) and the Department of Commerce have announced $250,000 in funding to support the development of a new and powerful artificial intelligence (AI) model to improve fire weather forecasts. The larger Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) is investing in the funding from the agenda of President Biden’s Investing in America. Firefighters…

  • Environmental Management Collaborates on AI

    The Office of Environmental Management (EM) Office of Technology set its sights upon artificial intelligence and machine learning as part of the Federal Remediation Technologies Roundtable. Participants centered on the results of artificial intelligence and machine learning projects related to advanced contaminant plume characterization. The group also looked at predictive modeling and improved cleanup efficiency.…
