Topic
NIST AI Consortium - Working together laying the foundation for AI innovation
Bio
Natalia Globus is a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) scientist who serves as a Deputy Consortium Manager and a head of membership and operations for the NIST Artificial Intelligence (AI) Consortium. NIST AI Consortium brings together AI creators and users, academic, government and industry researchers, and non-profit organizations to equip and empower the collaborative establishment of a new measurement science that enables the identification of proven, scalable, and interoperable techniques and metrics to promote innovation, economic competitiveness, and national security for AI systems. Prior to joining NIST, Natalia served in advisory roles at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and National Institutes of Health (NIH). Natalia holds both Masters and Bachelor degrees in Electro-Mechanical Engineering and Metrology from North-West State Technical University, St. Petersburg, Russia.
