A US Department of Commerce spokesperson confirmed that Chris Fall, the Trump administration's chief artificial intelligence security officer, left office after only three months in office. Faure was the director of the Artificial Intelligence Standards and Innovation Center, leading the US government's voluntary review mechanism for mainstream artificial intelligence models. The Artificial Intelligence Standards and Innovation Center belongs to the Ministry of Commerce. It is the core organization that connects with the industry and is responsible for promoting commercial artificial intelligence testing and related research. When he left office, the White House and US lawmakers were in a game about how to regulate this emerging technology. The spokesperson said, “After Chris leaves office, Dr. Arvind Raman, director of the US National Institute of Standards and Technology, will take over the supervision of the Artificial Intelligence Standards and Innovation Center and become the acting director of the Center.” Raman will also take the lead in selecting the new permanent director of the center. The nominees are expected to be announced in the next few weeks. A representative of the Ministry of Commerce, who asked not to be named, said Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick wanted to find a candidate with solid knowledge and professional ability in the field of artificial intelligence.
