The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently issued updated guidelines for AI researchers collaborating with the US Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute that remove critical elements such as "AI safety," "responsible AI," and "AI fairness." Instead, the emphasis is now on reducing ideological bias to support human flourishing and boost economic competitiveness. This shift raises concerns among researchers about potential unchecked discrimination in AI algorithms, specifically impacting marginalized communities. The previous focus on addressing discriminatory behaviors linked to various societal inequalities has been significantly diminished in the new guidelines.
AI safety, fairness, and responsible usage are sidelined in new instructions from NIST, emphasizing ideological bias reduction for human flourishing and economic competitiveness.
