NIST AI Risk Management Framework

The NIST AI RMF is a voluntary, non-sector-specific guide: it provides a structured process to govern, map, measure, and manage risks across the entire AI system lifecycle.

The NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF 1.0), released January 26, 2023, is the leading U.S. government-originated blueprint for responsible AI adoption. Directed by the National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Act of 2020, the Framework is a voluntary resource for organizations designing, developing, or using AI systems. Its core is a structured process with four functions: Govern (establish policy and culture), Map (identify and document risks), Measure (quantify risks and impacts), and Manage (allocate resources and execute mitigation). Developed through a collaborative, consensus-driven process involving over 240 contributing organizations, the AI RMF promotes trustworthiness by integrating principles like fairness, transparency, and accountability into organizational risk management.
