Nominations for the National Artificial Intelligence Advisory Committee Are Flowing In

The Commerce Department is actively recruiting candidates to serve on the government's newly-formed National Artificial Intelligence Advisory Committee, or NAIAC--where they'll inform President Joe Biden and agencies on issues raised by the emerging technology. At least nine members will serve up to two consecutive three-year terms on the committee, according to a recently released call for nominations. The National Institute of Standards and Technology is charged with providing administrative support to the high-level group. "The announcement was posted just over a week ago and we have already had a good deal of interest, with more than 65 submissions so far," NIST's Public Affairs Director Jennifer Huergo told Nextgov on Friday. AI is a complex technology that is increasingly prevalent in, and even shaping, many human lives.
