The National Institute of Standards and Technology wants to put a number on a person’s trust in artificial intelligence.
Trust is part of how we judge the potential for danger, and it’s an important factor in the adoption of AI. As AI takes on more and more complicated tasks, officials at NIST say, trust is an essential part of the evolving relationship between people and machines.

NIST views the AI initiative as an extension of its more traditional work establishing trust in measurement systems.
