From Microsoft’s press release at https://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2026/05/05/advancing-ai-evaluation-with-the-center-for-ai-standards-us-and-innovation-and-the-ai-security-institute-uk/,
Microsoft is announcing new agreements with the Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI) in the US and the AI Security Institute (AISI) in the UK to advance the science of AI testing and evaluation, including through collaborative work to test Microsoft’s frontier models, assess safeguards, and help mitigate national security and large-scale public safety risks.
This should help to standardise the evaluation of AI models, and ultimately lead to better management of national security and public safety risks, and hopefully build more trust and confidence in AI systems.
