United States of America: Introduced Testing and Evaluation Systems for Trusted Artificial Intelligence (TEST AI Act/ SB 1633)

On 7 May 2025, the Testing and Evaluation Systems for Trusted Artificial Intelligence (TEST AI Act/ SB 1633) was introduced to the United States Senate. The Bill aims to enhance national capacity for the testing and evaluation of artificial intelligence (AI) systems. The objective is to support technological development, safeguard national interests, and promote public trust in AI applications. The Bill outlines a collaborative initiative between the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Department of Energy (DOE) to establish a pilot programme for AI testbeds. These testbeds are intended to develop and refine evaluation standards addressing aspects such as performance, security, privacy, and bias, contributing to the foundation of broader AI measurement standards.
