NIST is investing $20m to stand up two AI security research and development centers with MITRE, a move aimed at strengthening US AI leadership and reducing cyber risk. One center will focus on US manufacturing productivity, and the other will secure critical infrastructure from cyber threats. The effort is designed to improve technology evaluations and advances needed to protect against adversaries’ use of AI and reliance on insecure AI. The initiative aligns with the White House’s July 2025 America’s AI Action Plan.
