Global law firm Clifford Chance announced that it is participating in a Department of Commerce initiative to support the development and deployment of trustworthy and safe Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Established by the Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on February 8, 2024, the U.S. AI Safety Institute Consortium (AISIC) brings together AI creators and users, academics, government and industry researchers, and civil society organisations to meet this mission.
Development of trustworthy AI
The consortium includes more than 200 member firms and organisations that are on the frontlines
Devika Kornbacher, Co-Chair of Global Tech Group, said, "We are excited to join the Consortium to help promote the development of trustworthy AI and its responsible use. As a global law firm, we partner with organisations and institutions around the world to explore and advise on the use, development, and management of this revolutionary technology."
The consortium includes more than 200 member companies and organisations that are on the frontlines of developing and using AI systems, as well as the civil society and academic teams that are building the foundational understanding of how AI can and will transform society.
Advanced AI systems and hardware
These entities represent the nation’s largest companies and its innovative startups; creators of the world’s most advanced AI systems and hardware; key members of civil society and the academic community; and representatives of professions with deep engagement in AI’s use.
The consortium also includes state and local governments, as well as non-profits. The consortium will also work with organisations from like-minded nations that have a key role to play in setting interoperable and effective safety around the world.
