NIST plans new risk evaluation methods and standards tracking for AI: The National Institute of Standards and Technology is adding new features in its roster of tools to help standardize artificial intelligence technologies in the agency’s ongoing effort to promote the construction of responsible AI systems. Elham Tabassi, the associate director for emerging technology at NIST, testified before the House Science, Space and Technology Committee on Wednesday, saying that her office is working to build upon its existing AI guidance offerings with new evaluation methods and a standards tracking system. These new evaluation efforts will primarily look at the socio-technical aspects of AI systems to determine whether they are safe enough for deployment.

New technique uses near-miss particle physics to peer into quantum world: One way physicists seek clues to unravel the mysteries of the universe is by smashing matter together and inspecting the debris. But these types of destructive experiments, while incredibly informative, have limits. We are two scientists who study nuclear and particle physics using CERN’s Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, Switzerland. Working with an international group of nuclear and particle physicists, our team realized that hidden in the data from previous studies was a remarkable and innovative experiment. In a new paper published in Physical Review Letters, we developed a new method with our colleagues for measuring how fast a particle called the tau wobbles. Our novel approach looks at the times incoming particles in the accelerator whiz by each other rather than the times they smash together in head-on collisions. Surprisingly, this approach enables far more accurate measurements of the tau particle’s wobble than previous techniques. This is the first time in nearly 20 years scientists have measured this wobble, known as the tau magnetic moment, and it may help illuminate tantalizing cracks emerging in the known laws of physics.

Lawmakers seek to upgrade quantum sciences research labs, academic resources: A bipartisan pair of House lawmakers introduced new legislation focused on furthering quantum sciences research in the U.S., one that would amend the landmark National Quantum Initiative Act — or NQIA — to improve domestic research facilities and improve resource access for quantum computing projects. Introduced last week by Reps. Andrea Salinas, D-Ore., and Jim Baird, R-Ind., the Quantum Instrumentation for Science and Engineering Act builds on the government’s growing ambition to help catalyze U.S. leadership in the emerging tech field. “Quantum science has the potential to vastly improve computing speeds and performance, sensing capabilities, and secure communications,” said Rep. Salinas in a statement. “Yet much more research is needed before we can fully realize the benefits of these technologies.” Salinas added that the bill would increase investment into U.S. research facilities, including those across academia, supporting upgraded labs at universities and community and technical colleges.
