AI Forge aims to accelerate progress towards artificial intelligence that is significantly more reliable and predictable in high-stakes settings, understandable to its operators and secure in contested environments.
What is AI Forge?
The U.S. National Science Foundation and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) have jointly developed AI Forge to catalyze breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI) for national security, working in close collaboration with the Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
The program focuses on aligning government, academia and industry around forward-looking foundational research to accelerate advances in AI interpretability, AI control and adversarial robustness. AI Forge is designed based on the principle that precompetitive AI research in these areas can accelerate the adoption of AI innovations by industry and federal agencies.
AI Forge aims to accelerate progress towards AI that is significantly more reliable and predictable in high-stakes settings, understandable to its operators and secure in contested environments. It also envisions building a durable research ecosystem around priority AI challenges and enabling a more robust exchange of talent and ideas across universities, frontier AI companies and government than is possible today.
AI Forge will establish a forum, comprised of industry, university and government participants, to identify, fund and manage university-led research efforts aimed at challenges defined in the AI Forge Critical AI Challenges for National Security report. The forum will be administered by a nonprofit.
