Building Trust in Generative AI Together: Cisco's Role in the NIST GenAI Program
Cisco, Wednesday, April 1st, 2026
Trust is often talked about as the necessary foundation of AI, but in reality, it is not something we can simply declare. It has to be built, tested, and proven over time.
That idea sits at the center of Cisco's work with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Generative AI Program. As AI becomes more embedded in how we work, govern, and connect, the real question is what AI can do and whether we can rely on it when it matters most.
NIST's GenAI Program takes that challenge head-on by turning trust into something tangible. The program treats trust as a performance standard: something that can be measured, stress-tested, and improved.
