GoKawiilCommerce Dept's AI safety office begins informally reporting to White House
CAISSI, the Commerce Department's small AI-safety division (formerly the U.S. Center for AI Standards and Innovation), has started informally reporting to a White House office, according to two former officials cited by the Associated Press. The division currently lacks a permanent leader, has stopped publishing research, and operates on a $10 million annual budget, roughly one-eighth that of its UK counterpart.
