NIST seeks information to bolster US innovation and industrial competitiveness in emerging tech areas
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has released a Request for Information (RFI) to help guide the development of eight emerging technologies. NIST will use the information to inform a study it will provide Congress with a comprehensive analysis of the nation’s emerging technology sector including information on relevant marketplaces; supply chains; future investment, legislative, policy and standards needs; and, strategic public-private partnerships to enhance the nationwide adoption of technology development and utilization.
The emerging technology areas NIST seeks to study are:
- Artificial Intelligence;
- Internet of Things in Manufacturing;
- Quantum Computing;
- Blockchain Technology;
- New and Advanced Materials;
- Unmanned Delivery Services;
- Internet of Things; and
- Three-dimensional Printing.
NIST is inviting stakeholders throughout the scientific research, standards, advocacy, industry, and non-scientific communities, including the general public, to provide input for creating a forward-thinking approach that supports emerging technology to foster economic growth and competitiveness. Responses to the RFI are due by Jan. 31, 2022.
