Washington, D.C. — Today, the U.S. Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute at the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced the formation of the Testing Risks of AI for National Security (TRAINS) Taskforce, which brings together partners from across the U.S. Government to identify, measure, and manage the emerging national security and public safety implications of rapidly evolving AI technology. This announcement comes as the United States is set to host the first-ever convening of the International Network of AI Safety Institutes in San Francisco.
华盛顿特区——今天，美国商务部国家标准与技术研究院（NIST）下属的美国人工智能安全研究所宣布成立“人工智能国家安全风险测试”（TRAINS）工作组，该工作组将汇聚来自美国政府各部门的合作伙伴，旨在识别、衡量和管理快速发展的人工智能技术在国家安全和公共安全方面带来的新兴影响。此公告发布之际，美国即将在旧金山主办首次国际人工智能安全研究所网络会议。
The Taskforce will enable coordinated research and testing of advanced AI models across critical national security and public safety domains, such as radiological and nuclear security, chemical and biological security, cybersecurity, critical infrastructure, conventional military capabilities, and more.
该工作组将推动在关键国家安全和公共安全领域（如辐射和核安全、化学和生物安全、网络安全、关键基础设施、常规军事能力等）对先进人工智能模型进行协调研究和测试。
These efforts will advance the U.S. government imperative to maintain American leadership in AI development and prevent adversaries from misusing American innovation to undermine national security.
这些努力将推动美国政府在人工智能发展方面保持领导地位，并防止对手滥用美国的创新成果以破坏国家安全。
The TRAINS Taskforce is chaired by the U.S. AI Safety Institute and includes initial representation from the following federal agencies:
The Department of Energy and ten of its National Laboratories
Argonne National Laboratory
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Sandia National Laboratory
Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Brookhaven National Laboratory
Savannah River National Laboratory
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Idaho National Laboratory
Los Alamos National Laboratory
The Department of Defense, including the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO) and the National Security Agency
The Department of Homeland Security, including the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) at the Department of Health and Human Services
Each member will lend its unique subject matter expertise, technical infrastructure, and resources to the Taskforce and will collaborate on the development of new AI evaluation methods and benchmarks, as well as conduct joint national security risk assessments and red-teaming exercises.
TRAINS工作组由美国人工智能安全研究所主持，并包括以下联邦机构的初步代表：
能源部及其十个国家实验室
阿贡国家实验室
太平洋西北国家实验室
劳伦斯·利物浦国家实验室
桑迪亚国家实验室
橡树岭国家实验室
布鲁克海文国家实验室
萨凡纳河国家实验室
劳伦斯·伯克利国家实验室
爱达荷国家实验室
洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室
国防部，包括首席数字与人工智能办公室（CDAO）和国家安全局
国土安全部，包括网络安全和基础设施安全局（CISA）
卫生与公共服务部下属的国立卫生研究院（NIH）
每个成员将为工作组提供其独特的专业知识、技术基础设施和资源，并共同开发新的人工智能评估方法和基准，同时进行联合国家安全风险评估和红队演练。
“Enabling safe, secure, and trustworthy AI innovation is not just an economic priority – it's a public safety and national security imperative,” said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo. “Every corner of the country is impacted by the rapid progress in AI, which is why establishing the TRAINS Taskforce is such an important step to unite our federal resources and ensure we’re pulling every lever to address the challenges of this generation-defining technology. The U.S. AI Safety Institute will continue to lead by centralizing the top-notch national security and AI expertise that exists across government in order to harness the benefits of AI for the betterment of the American people and American business.”
“推动安全、可靠、值得信赖的人工智能创新不仅是经济优先事项——它还是公共安全和国家安全的迫切任务，”美国商务部长吉娜·雷蒙多（Gina Raimondo）说。“人工智能的迅速发展已经影响到全国的每个角落，这就是为什么成立TRAINS工作组如此重要的原因，它能够将我们的联邦资源集中起来，确保我们通过一切可能的手段应对这一定义时代的技术所带来的挑战。美国人工智能安全研究所将继续通过整合政府内外顶尖的国家安全与人工智能专业知识，领导这一进程，充分发挥人工智能的潜力，为美国人民和美国企业的福祉服务。”
