Duke University enthusiastically commends the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for the establishment of the U.S. Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute (USAISI) and its related consortium — a significant leap forward in promoting safe and trustworthy AI. We are excited to actively participate in this initiative, leveraging our expertise and established track record in health AI. Our experience, notably in crafting the ‘Blueprint for Trustworthy AI Implementation Guidance and Assurance for Healthcare’ in collaboration with the Coalition for Health AI (CHAI), harmonizes seamlessly with the consortium’s objectives. We are dedicated to sharing our insights in the field of health AI, acquired through our extensive work at Duke Health. This partnership with NIST and the Consortium presents a pivotal opportunity for us to contribute our knowledge and best practices, furthering the responsible development and deployment of AI across diverse domains.
