The head of the artificial intelligence security agency of the Trump Government resigned

On Tuesday, 21 July, the United States Department of Commerce confirmed that Chris Fall, Director of the Center for Artificial Intelligence Standards and Innovation, resigned only three months after taking over from the Federal Agency for Artificial Intelligence Testing. This sudden departure comes at a time when the Trump government is trying to respond to how to safely deploy artificial intelligence and to set artificial intelligence standards for the agencies concerned. Following the Government's reorganization of the agency (formerly the United States Institute for Artificial Intelligence Security), Chris Fall was appointed in April this year to head the United States Department of Commerce's Centre for Artificial Intelligence Standards and Innovation. It is responsible for developing artificial intelligence testing and assessment capabilities and supporting standards for advanced artificial intelligence systems. This vacancy will result in the temporary absence of a formal head of the federal key body for artificial intelligence, at a time when the Government is discussing the next steps in artificial intelligence standards and regulation。
