NIST AI RMF (Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Framework) is a voluntary framework developed by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology to help organizations identify, assess, manage, and reduce risks associated with artificial intelligence systems.
What is NIST AI RMF?
The NIST AI RMF provides guidance for incorporating risk management into the design, development, deployment, and use of AI systems. Its core functions are Govern, Map, Measure, and Manage, which help organizations establish governance practices, understand AI risks and context, evaluate risks, and take steps to address them.
Why is NIST AI RMF Important?
The framework helps organizations take a structured approach to managing AI risks throughout the system lifecycle. It can support efforts to improve AI reliability, transparency, safety, security, and accountability while helping teams establish consistent risk management practices.
Common use cases
NIST AI RMF is commonly used for AI risk assessment, governance programs, model evaluation, AI security, responsible AI initiatives, risk monitoring, and organizational AI management.
