WASHINGTON : A researcher from TikTok's Chinese owner ByteDance was wrongly added to a groupchat for American artificial intelligence safety experts last week, the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) said Monday.

The researcher, whose LinkedIn profile says she is based in California, did not return messages; ByteDance did not respond to emails seeking comment. The AI Safety Institute is intended to evaluate the risks of cutting edge artificial intelligence programs. Announced last year, the institute was set up under NIST and its founding members include hundreds of major American tech companies, universities, AI startups, nongovernmental organizations and others, including Reuters' parent company Thomson Reuters.
