Arvind Raman, Indian-Origin, Steps In After AI Security Chief Chris Fall Resigns

Raman steps in after Chris Fall resigned in July 2026, having served only three months as the center's chief.

The center, part of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, focuses on developing standards and guidelines for artificial intelligence safety and security.

Raman brings academic expertise to the role, though specific details of his background were not disclosed in the announcement.

The resignation of Fall, who had led the center since its creation, comes amid ongoing debates in Washington over AI regulation and industry oversight.
