Why is a mod subjectively resolving a question? There is a fair argument that the new institute is not about safety and thus meets the spirit for a YES resolution. Either wait until @ahalekelly comes back, or N/A it.
@ItsMe If you look at https://www.nist.gov/caisi, a lot of the new mission is basically the same safety work as what the old US AISI was doing
Work with NIST organizations to develop guidelines and best practices to measure and improve the security of AI systems, and work with NIST staff to assist industry to develop voluntary standards.
Establish voluntary agreements with private sector AI developers and evaluators, and lead unclassified evaluations of AI capabilities that may pose risks to national security. In conducting these evaluations, CAISI will focus on demonstrable risks, such as cybersecurity, biosecurity, and chemical weapons.
@ahalekelly This question appears to be much more pertinent; thoughts?
The AISI has been gutted/ceased to exist; it has been replaced by the Center for AI Standards and Innovation. The leadership (at least) of the AISI has been removed, and the (former) AISI director now works at Anthropic.

Trump is requesting 325,000,000 less this year for NIST as well (page 25) https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/BUDGET-2026-BUD/pdf/BUDGET-2026-BUD.pdf
@ItsMe From Wikipedia:
Under President Trump, plans for members of the agency to attend the February AI Action Summit in Paris February 2025 were scrapped.[20] The US and the UK refused to sign the summit's final communique. US Vice President JD Vance said "pro-growth AI policies" should be prioritised over safety.[21]
The name of the agency was changed in June 2025 to the Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI) and its mission transformed.[22] According to Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, "For far too long, censorship and regulations have been used under the guise of national security. Innovators will no longer be limited by these standards. CAISI will evaluate and enhance US innovation of these rapidly developing commercial AI systems while ensuring they remain secure to our national security standards."[23][24] The US Department of Commerce stated that CAISI would represent American interests internationally, guarding against burdensome and unnecessary regulation of US technologies by foreign governments. It collaborates with the NIST Information Technology Laboratory.[24]
@DavidJames thanks for asking. Trying to decide if it was Trump’s doing could be contentious, so I will change the question to “If Trump is elected, will the shutdown of the US AI Safety Institute be announced in 2025?”
(Current question is “If elected, will Trump shut down the US AI Safety Institute in 2025?”)
If congress passes a budget in 2025 with zero funding for a future year, that would count as announcing a shutdown, but a presidential budget request wouldn’t count.
