"When America leads in setting global tech standards, it means that the rules - international rules of commerce - are literally being based on American values: free markets, private sector, innovation, privacy, freedom of speech. When we leave a vacuum for that leadership that allows for other standards that are not based on these values, they're based on state-based ideas... so it's vitally important, from a values point of view, that America leads in standard setting, in advanced technologies."
"Raman underscored the economic imperative of having the U.S. be the leader in AI standards setting, highlighting interoperability and compliance benefits in addition to supporting democratic values in emerging tech systems."
Purdue University Professor Arvind Raman, nominated to lead NIST, testified before the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee about his commitment to advancing AI metrology and establishing U.S. leadership in global technology standards. Raman emphasized that American-led standard-setting ensures international commerce rules reflect American values including free markets, innovation, privacy, and freedom of speech, preventing other nations from establishing standards based on state-controlled models. He highlighted the economic and democratic importance of U.S. leadership in AI standards. Raman pledged to unite industry and government in developing common AI standards, support semiconductor manufacturing, advance the Trump administration's AI Action Plan, fund the Manufacturing Extension Partnership program, and ensure NIST oversight programs operate transparently.
