AI Risk Management Framework

On July 26, 2024, NIST released NIST-AI-600-1, Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Framework: Generative Artificial Intelligence Profile. Developed in part to fulfill an October 30, 2023 Executive Order, the profile  can help organizations identify unique risks posed by generative AI and proposes actions for generative AI risk management that best aligns with their goals and priorities. 

The U.S. Department of State released a “Risk Management Profile for Artificial Intelligence and Human Rights” as a practical guide for organizations—including governments, the private sector, and civil society—to design, develop, deploy, use, and govern AI in a manner consistent with respect for international human rights.

Japanese translation and Arabic translation of the AI RMF are now available.

In collaboration with the private and public sectors, NIST has developed a framework to better manage risks to individuals, organizations, and society associated with artificial intelligence (AI). The NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF) is intended for voluntary use and to improve the ability to incorporate trustworthiness considerations into the design, development, use, and evaluation of AI products, services, and systems.

Released on January 26, 2023, the Framework was developed through a consensus-driven, open, transparent, and collaborative process that included a Request for Information, several draft versions for public comments, multiple workshops, and other opportunities to provide input. It is intended to build on, align with, and support AI risk management efforts by others (Fact Sheet).

A companion NIST AI RMF Playbook also has been published by NIST along with an AI RMF RoadmapAI RMF Crosswalk, and various Perspectives. In addition, NIST is making available a video explainer about the AI RMF.

On March 30, 2023, NIST launched the Trustworthy and Responsible AI Resource Center, which will facilitate implementation of, and international alignment with, the AI RMF. Examples of how other organizations are building on and using the AI RMF can be found via the AIRC’s Use Case page.
