The Center for AI Standards and Innovation (Casey) is identified as the government body conducting AI model testing, a role it has held across multiple administrations. The agency has faced political challenges, with even its name becoming a point of contention due to the politicization of AI safety. Casey aims to establish global standards by partnering with international allies.
“All right, and you mentioned Casey, the Center for AI Standards and Innovation. This is sort of the center within the government that conducts this testing, right?”
“That's right. And Casey's been at the center of this story for many administrations, not including the Biden administration.”
“It has gone through political turmoil, even what it should be named was a whole point of contention on the hill because even the word safety became politicized.”
“So that these standards, whatever they are, could end up being a global standard and not just something that we see in the US.”
