The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will convene an in-person workshop on November 12, 2024, in Washington, D.C., to provide more detail about NIST's new ARIA program. Participants will learn about ARIA’s experimentation environment and NIST’s approach to evaluation-driven research.

ARIA (Assessing Risks and Impacts of AI) is a NIST AI Innovation Lab program to gather evidence about AI’s risks to people and society as part of advancing the science and practice of AI risk measurement. 

The one day in-person workshop will take place at The American Geophysical Union in Washington, D.C. 

This is the first in a series of ARIA workshops to facilitate discussion about aspects of this unique program. The series will begin with a deep-dive into the role of annotation in the ARIA program. Stay tuned for future series.

The target audience for this workshop is any organization currently participating (or interested in participating) in the ARIA pilot efforts, those working in the field of socio-technical evaluations, and organizations engaged in the annotation of human-AI interactions.
