The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), within the U.S. Department of Commerce, invites stakeholders to participate in an upcoming workshop on AI Incident Management.
As AI systems become increasingly integral to critical infrastructure, cybersecurity, and national security, a new class of incidents is emerging where AI systems are both targets and sources of risk. Addressing these challenges may require new methods and coordinated action across government, industry, and academia.
Building on the collaborative model of efforts, this workshop will convene leaders from across the AI and cybersecurity stakeholder communities to initiate a shared dialogue on scalable, mission-aligned approaches to AI incident response.
The workshop will:
- Present a high-level NIST roadmap to advance AI incident response standards and practices
- Engage stakeholders to understand current approaches, including existing playbooks and frameworks
- Explore definitions, lifecycles, and taxonomy of AI-related incidents
- Identify gaps in today’s cybersecurity and AI risk management guidance
- Highlight emerging AI incident types beyond cybersecurity, including misuse scenarios
This engagement will inform future Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) and Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI)* efforts to implement America’s AI Action Plan, including updates to existing guidelines and the development of new recommendations.
NIST invites stakeholders to contribute their expertise and help shape a coordinated, forward-looking approach to AI incident management. Outcomes from this workshop will inform future guidelines, strengthen ecosystem readiness, and support national and global alignment.
Audience: AI developers, service providers, incident responders, critical infrastructure partners, academics, cybersecurity professionals, and government stakeholders.
