MITRE deployed its AI Assurance and Discovery Lab in March 2024 at its McLean, Virginia headquarters to evaluate risks in AI-enabled systems for federal agencies and private companies. The lab uses simulated environments, AI red teaming, and large language model evaluation to identify security, bias, and performance risks before agencies adopt AI systems.
Details
The lab features configurable physical space accommodating up to 50 people in person and 4,000 via remote connections, tailored for specific mission scenarios. It offers capabilities including AI red teaming, large language model evaluation, human-in-the-loop experimentation, and assurance plan development. Federal agencies can bring their AI-enabled systems to the lab to assess whether systems perform effectively, consistently, and safely, and to test for harmful bias and security vulnerabilities. MITRE uses a proprietary AI Assurance Process consistent with existing engineering standards for risk assessment. The lab is intended for consequential applications including national security, healthcare, and transportation.

Other practices by MITRE
OtherMITRE announced in December 2025 that it will operate two new AI Economic Security Centers on behalf of NIST, funded by a $20 million NIST investment, focused on applying AI to U.S. manufacturing productivity and securing critical infrastructure from cyberthreats. Both centers will leverage MITRE's Federal AI Sandbox and existing tools.Data AnalysisMITRE's Center for Threat-Informed Defense offers TRAM (Threat Report ATT&CK Mapper), an open-source tool that uses machine learning and large language models to automatically identify and classify adversary tactics and techniques in cybersecurity threat intelligence reports. The tool assists security analysts who previously had to map reports manually.OtherMITRE offers ATLAS (Adversarial Threat Landscape for Artificial-Intelligence Systems), a publicly available knowledge base launched in June 2021 that catalogs the tactics and techniques adversaries use to attack AI and machine learning systems. It is freely accessible to security teams worldwide and is continuously updated.
