In May 2024, the U.S. National Institute for Standards and Technology launched a new program called ARIA, which is short for Assessing Risks and Impacts of AI. The aim of the program is to advance sociotechnical testing and evaluation of artificial intelligence by developing methods to quantify how a given system works within real-world contexts. Potential outputs include scalable guidelines, tools, methodologies and metrics. Reva Schwartz is a research scientist and principal investigator for AI bias at the NIST and is the ARIA program lead. In recent years, she has also helped with NIST's AI Risk Management Framework.
IAPP Editorial Director Jedidiah Bracy recently caught up with Schwartz to discuss the program, what it entails, how it will work and who will be involved.
