Washington, D.C. – TechNet, the national, bipartisan network of tech CEOs and senior executives, today submitted comments from TechNet CEO Linda Moore to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on its proposed zero draft for a standard on AI testing, evaluation, verification, and validation (TEVV). TechNet’s comments commend NIST’s constructive approach in creating an overarching framework that provides AI practitioners with the flexibility to design TEVV techniques tailored to specific systems and use cases, while recommending enhancements to strengthen the draft.

“Developing an effective TEVV approach is critical to building the trust in AI systems necessary to deploy and leverage these capabilities at scale and will help ensure that the next generation of AI technologies is built on a bedrock of trust and integrity,” Moore said. “TechNet supports NIST’s efforts to broaden participation in and accelerate the creation of TEVV standards that will meet the AI community’s needs and spur greater AI development and deployment. This will require continued collaboration between government, academia, and industry, and we remain eager to partner with the administration in fostering innovation and advancing America’s global AI dominance.”
