Extensive expulsion of architecture The Trump administration and the so -called Ministry of Efficiency may, as soon as this week, at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) may do an illegal agency responsible for creating criteria that are all from beauty products to quantum computers safe and reliable.
According to several current and former employees at NIST, the agency has won the presidency last month since Donald Trump’s presidency, ordering the billionaire Elon Mask and Doug to reduce their spending across the federal government. Last week, the fears increased that some NIST workers saw a few people who seemed to be in connection with DOGE in the 225 building, which housed the NIST IT laboratory at Gitsburg Agency, Maryland, Campus. One people said DOGE staff were looking for access to NIST IT systems.
Immediately after the visit, the NIST leadership told employees that DOGE employees are not currently on the campus, but according to these people, office and technology are provided for them.
On Wednesday, Axios and Bloomberg reported that NIST had begun notifying some employees who could be fired soon. According to reports, about 500 recent recruitment that are still conditional and can be easily eliminated, including cases that are expected to be affected. Three sources tell Wired that the decline is likely to praise technical experts in leadership positions, including three laboratory managers that have been upgraded over the past year. A person familiar with the agency tells the Wired that official expulsion announcements may be Friday.
The White House and a spokesman for the NIST Ministry of Commerce have not yet returned the comments.
One of the NIST teams, which has been reduced by the number of conditional staff, is the US Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute (AISI), which was created after the executive order of the former Joe Biden President in AI, which was issued in October 2023. Trump described the order as “US leadership in artificial information” shortly after the approval of last month. “
The Institute of Artificial Intelligence Safety, and almost two dozen employees, are working closely with artificial intelligence companies, including competitors to launch the XAI mask such as Openai and Anthropic to understand and test their most powerful models. Musca was an initial investor in Openai and is currently complaining about his decision to move from a non -profit company to a profit company.
Elizabeth Kelly, the manager of the inauguration, announced that he would leave his role earlier this month. Several new NIST leaders working in AI have also been in recent weeks, including Reva Schwartz, which led the NIST artificial intelligence program. Kelly and Schwartz refused to comment. Tabassi did not respond to the request of the comment.
US Vice President JD Venus recently announced that the new government announced a large international meeting held in Paris last week to humiliate artificial intelligence at the AI Summit that AISI and other government employees were not invited to attend. “I am not here this morning to talk about artificial intelligence safety,” Venus said in his first great speech as VP. “I’m here to talk about the opportunity of artificial intelligence.”
