Summary

Reports on the Biden administration's appointments to lead the AI Safety Institute (AISI) at NIST, while highlighting concerns about limited available funding (~$1M) for the institute's operations. The piece covers the tension between political momentum for AI safety governance and practical resource constraints facing the newly established body.

Key Points

  • Biden administration made leadership appointments to the US AI Safety Institute housed within NIST
  • Only approximately $1M in funding was reportedly available despite the institute's broad mandate
  • Funding uncertainty raised questions about AISI's ability to fulfill its AI safety evaluation mission
  • Appointments signal continued political commitment to AI safety infrastructure even amid resource gaps
  • NIST funding constraints could limit the institute's capacity for model evaluations and safety research

 Organization: Archive Team
 

 

 Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.


History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside. Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials. Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.


The main site for Archive Team is at archiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.


This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by the Wayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work. 


Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire. If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop. Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.


The Archive Team Panic Downloads are full pulldowns of currently extant websites, meant to serve as emergency backups for needed sites that are in danger of closing, or which will be missed dearly if suddenly lost due to hard drive crashes or server failures.
