Rice University has joined the nation’s leading artificial intelligence (AI) stakeholders to participate in a Department of Commerce initiative to support the development and deployment of trustworthy and safe AI. Established by the Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the U.S. AI Safety Institute Consortium (AISIC) will bring together AI creators and users, academics, government and industry researchers and civil society organizations to meet this mission.

At Rice the effort is led by the Ken Kennedy Institute, which supports research on AI, data and computing to solve critical global challenges. The institute, comprised of more than 250 renowned faculty and senior research members, enables new conversations that drive convergent research to impact the development of new technology and advance training and education.
