With a $555,000 award from Massachusetts' Technology & Innovation Ecosystem Awards Program and a private sector match, the MITRE Corporation will partner with the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School to run the Health AI Assurance Laboratory, the MassTech Collaborative announced Wednesday..

麻省理工大学（MassTech Collaborative）周三宣布，MITRE公司将与麻省大学陈医学院（University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School）合作运营健康人工智能保证实验室，该实验室将获得马萨诸塞州技术与创新生态系统奖（Technology&Innovation Econystem Awards Program）授予的555000美元奖金和一场私营部门比赛。。

WHY IT MATTERS

为什么重要

The lab aims to contribute to emerging national standards for digital health technology evaluation, foster the trustworthy and responsible use of health AI, and support commercial applications for healthcare innovators, the collaborative said.

该合作组织表示，该实验室旨在为新兴的数字健康技术评估国家标准做出贡献，促进健康人工智能的可靠和负责任的使用，并支持医疗保健创新者的商业应用。

While the funds will also support the construction of physical spaces that will allow for collaboration, workforce training, and research and development focused on ensuring the safety of health AI products before they’re put into general use, the lab's mission also includes creating workforce development opportunities. .

虽然这些资金还将支持物理空间的建设，以便进行合作、劳动力培训以及研发，重点是确保健康人工智能产品在投入普遍使用之前的安全，但实验室的任务还包括创造劳动力发展机会。。

For high school, undergraduate and post-graduate students looking to break into AI, MITRE and UMass's new health AI lab will provide hands-on experience and a chance to hone their AI assurance skills.

对于希望进入人工智能领域的高中生、本科生和研究生，MITRE和麻省大学新的健康人工智能实验室将提供实践经验和磨练人工智能保障技能的机会。

With the leadership of the researchers at UMass Chan and MITRE, the new lab will help strengthen the health AI industry, according to Yvonne Hao, secretary of the Executive Office of Economic Development and co-chair of the state’s AI strategic taskforce.

经济发展执行办公室秘书长、加州大学人工智能战略工作组联合主席伊冯·郝（YvonneHao）表示，在麻省大学陈校区和米特尔校区研究人员的领导下，新实验室将有助于加强健康人工智能产业。

'The new Health AI Assurance Laboratory is an incredible opportunity to grow the AI ecosystem by building strategic partnerships and providing career opportunities to students in data analysis, informatics and machine learning,' Hao said in a statement.

郝在一份声明中说，新的健康人工智能保证实验室是一个绝佳的机会，可以通过建立战略伙伴关系，为学生提供数据分析、信息学和机器学习方面的职业机会，从而发展人工智能生态系统。

THE LARGER TREND

更大的趋势

In March, MITRE opened its first AI Assurance and Discovery Lab in McLean, Virginia, with a mission to discover and mitigate critical risks in AI-enabled systems.

3月，MITRE在弗吉尼亚州麦克莱恩（McLean）开设了其第一个人工智能保证和发现实验室，其任务是发现和减轻人工智能系统中的关键风险。

'Providing an independent assessment of the security, safety and efficacy of AI systems will play a critical role toward helping government and business integrate new technology,' Charles Clancy, MITRE senior vice president and chief technology officer, said at the Virginia headquarters opening.

MITRE高级副总裁兼首席技术官查尔斯·克兰西（CharlesClancy）在弗吉尼亚总部开幕式上表示，对人工智能系统的安全性、安全性和有效性进行独立评估，将在帮助政府和企业整合新技术方面发挥关键作用。

'This lab will demonstrate a repeatable engineering approach and infrastructure that could serve as a blueprint for a national network of AI assurance facilities,” he added.

他补充道：“这个实验室将展示一种可重复的工程方法和基础设施，可以作为国家人工智能保障设施网络的蓝图。”。

Certification will be an important part of responsible AI deployment because disruptive technologies inherently deliver organizations a new spate of risks.

认证将是负责任的人工智能部署的重要组成部分，因为破坏性技术本质上会给组织带来新的风险。

In addition to MITRE, HITRUST launched an AI assurance initiative for healthcare in October.

除MITRE外，HITRUST于10月推出了一项针对医疗保健的人工智能保证计划。

The HITRUST AI Assurance Program is designed to help organizations deploying AI to engage more proactively and efficiently with their AI service providers and discuss approaches to shared risk.

HITRUST人工智能保证计划旨在帮助部署人工智能的组织更积极有效地与人工智能服务提供商合作，并讨论分担风险的方法。

'Risk management, security and assurance for AI systems requires that organizations contributing to the system understand the risks across the system and agree how they together secure the system,' said Robert Booker, chief strategy officer at HITRUST, in its announcement.

HITRUST首席战略官罗伯特·布克（RobertBooker）在声明中说：“人工智能系统的风险管理、安全和保障要求为系统做出贡献的组织了解整个系统的风险，并就如何共同保护系统达成一致。”。

ON THE RECORD

记录在案

'Together with MITRE and with support from the Innovation Institute at MassTech, current and future healthcare professionals will be able to create and guide AI technology to fulfill its promise of better, more efficient and more equitable patient care across our communities,' Michael Collins, chancellor of UMass Chan Medical School, said in a statement..

麻省大学陈医学院院长迈克尔·柯林斯（MichaelCollins）在一份声明中说：“与MITRE一起，在麻省理工学院创新研究所的支持下，当前和未来的医疗保健专业人员将能够创建和指导人工智能技术，以实现其在整个社区提供更好、更高效和更公平的患者护理的承诺。”。。

'Having just opened MITRE’s national AI Assurance & Discovery Lab in northern Virginia, we look forward to sharing our AI assurance resources and expertise with the UMass team,' added Doug Robbins, vice president at MITRE.

MITRE副总裁道格·罗宾斯（DougRobbins）补充道：“刚刚在弗吉尼亚州北部开设了MITRE的国家人工智能保障与发现实验室，我们期待着与麻省大学团队分享我们的人工智能保障资源和专业知识。”。

'Connecting both labs will be the very first step in creating what we envision as a national network of AI assurance labs,' he said.

他说，连接两个实验室将是创建我们设想的人工智能保证实验室全国网络的第一步。
