NIST program page for the Center for AI Standards and Innovation, the standards and evaluation body reconstituted from the U.S. AI Safety Institute in June 2025.
Federal AI Safety Governance
Accountability file
A public-record case file for U.S. federal AI-safety governance and oversight: executive orders on AI, the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, the standards body launched as the U.S. AI Safety Institute and reconstituted as the Center for AI Standards and Innovation, FTC enforcement on AI claims, GAO oversight of federal AI use, and congressional AI hearings and legislation. It keeps executive-order status, standards guidance, enforcement actions, oversight reports, and legislative records separate until a public record supports the exact claim, and it does not rate AI model quality, capability, or safety.

How the public record connects
This shows the case file's most significant public-record connections only — see the Role Web and Timeline tabs for the full set. A line means a record connects two points; it is not a finding about conduct.
Publishing limits
These are the standards every anchor on this file must clear.
- Minimum source tier
- official record
- oversight report
- audit report
- legislative record
- civil enforcement record
- Living people
- For named officials, witnesses, or companies, publish only source-backed public roles and exact record relationships; do not infer intent, influence, or blame.
- Victim protection
- Do not publish private, nonpublic, or personal data; enforcement targets are alleged unless a record shows an adjudicated outcome.
- Social leads
- Social posts and coverage can start a governance or enforcement lead, but published copy requires official executive, standards, oversight, legislative, court, or enforcement records.
No guilt by proximity
A model, vendor, agency, or official appearing in the same governance lane is context only and does not prove a violation, a safety outcome, or responsibility for a policy.
People, institutions, and the records between them
Every public-record role in this file, grouped by kind. Open a role to read its dossier — its public-record status, what it is, and the exact records that name it. A shared record naming two roles is not a finding about conduct beyond that record.
Every public-record role
Pick a role to see its public-record status, what it is, and the exact records that name it. A shared record is not a finding about conduct.
The 2023 government-wide AI executive order, recorded on GovInfo. It is no longer in force after a January 2025 revocation.
The 2025 replacement AI-policy executive order, directing a national AI action plan and a review of actions taken under EO 14110.
A bipartisan Senate bill proposing an AI innovation and accountability framework, referencing Commerce oversight and testing and evaluation standards. It was not enacted in the 118th Congress.
Official government-publishing catalog record for the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, usable as a stable repository citation.
The AI Action Plan required by EO 14179, setting out federal AI policy actions across three pillars.
The inauguration-day rescission order whose revocation list expressly includes the 2023 AI executive order. This is the instrument that ended EO 14110's force.
A coordinated FTC enforcement sweep of five matters involving alleged deceptive or unfair AI-related marketing or tools.
GAO's measurement of the growth of AI and generative-AI use cases across federal agencies and related management practices.
GAO's review of whether agencies met the near-term AI management and talent requirements set by Executive Order 14110.
NIST voluntary AI Risk Management Framework record providing structured guidance to identify and manage AI risks across the lifecycle.

- records release / official#Senate Commerce reports the AI accountability bill (S. 3312)The Artificial Intelligence Research, Innovation, and Accountability Act is reported in the Senate; it is not enacted in the 118th Congress.A reported bill is a proposal, not enacted law.
- records release / official#EO 14148 revokes EO 14110An inauguration-day rescission order lists EO 14110 among revoked orders, ending the 2023 AI executive order's force.A revocation is a change in policy status, not a finding about any party.
Public sources ready to ingest
Import sources create source-run packets, document inventories, and review tokens. They do not publish accusations or graph relationships until the case-file evidence rules are satisfied.

Claim rows are derived from timeline events and source anchors. They are evidence-status labels, not accusations or final truth claims.
What should be released next
Release requests are lawful public-record asks. They identify source gaps, review gates, and privacy constraints; they are not evidence that a specific person committed wrongdoing.
What stays unresolved
Deliberate gaps in the public record — open until the underlying records are released or reviewed, not questions we have skipped.

For researchers & contributorsSource desk, research joins & machine-readable exportsEverything Hugin uses to grow and audit this file — connection detail, review posture, scout queue, and every export.
Every machine-readable slice of this file
How the public record is joined
Connections are navigation aids. They show where a record, event, or role is sourced; they do not convert association, correspondence, testimony requests, or document appearance into misconduct findings.
Scout queue before promotion
Default public-record source desk for cases without a hand-tuned scout profile.
Source leads and automated probes are review inventory. They become verified anchors only after Hugin can attach the public record, legal posture, and no-allegation guardrails.
Public-record joins are wired into exports
These are not loose TODOs anymore. Each lane below is computed from the case file's source tiers, then joined to matching sources, timeline events, role nodes, and release-roadmap requests.
Track new or amended AI executive orders and AI Action Plan implementation through GovInfo and White House records before saying federal AI policy changed.
Monitor NIST and CAISI records for evaluation reports, developer agreements, and standards initiatives.
Track FTC AI matters end to end using Federal Register consent notices and regulations.gov dockets, recording both openings and later set-asides.
Monitor GAO's AI topic for new reports and open or closed recommendation status.
Monitor congress.gov and GovInfo for AI-governance bills and oversight hearings across the 118th and 119th Congresses.
Build a citation-anchored index of AI executive orders, agency notices, and requests for information through GovInfo, since federalregister.gov blocks automated fetch.
Reconcile OECD.AI United States entries against U.S. primary records, including the observed EO 14179 signing-date discrepancy.
Help grow the source queue
Hugin accepts public records, not accusations. A submitted URL lands in a review lane, gets source-validated, and only becomes a case anchor after the evidence rules and privacy gates are satisfied.
What this case can prove right now
Fact-check status is a review posture, not a verdict. Source-scout rows are leads until a reviewer joins them to publishable anchors; claim-ledger rows are timeline-derived and still require source validation plus no-allegation guardrails before promotion.
Queue a public record
Paste an official or public-record URL. Hugin classifies the lane first, keeps lead-only material quarantined, and requires source validation before anything reaches the case file.
Queue a public source for review.Latest submitted public URLs
Sanitized queue view: Hugin shows the public URL, lane, status, and why a source has not been promoted. Submitter identifiers are not shown.
Submit sources, not claims
A source is a public URL someone else can inspect. A claim is an interpretation. Hugin queues sources first and keeps claims out until a reviewed public record supports the exact wording.
Official agency pages, court dockets, congressional releases, civil records, state updates, and public repositories with source URLs.
Publisher, date, record family, and why the URL belongs in this file.
Source URLs first. Context is welcome, but claims do not publish from submissions alone.
Private tips, survivor identifiers, sealed or leaked material, graphic details, and private contact data.
Screenshots or social posts without a public source URL.
Misconduct labels for living people unless the exact cited public record supports that exact statement.
