Summary

A framework from NIST to help organizations identify, assess, manage, and monitor risks associated with AI systems.

Key Takeaways

• The AI RMF is built around four core functions — Govern, Map, Measure, and Manage — which guide organizations through the entire AI risk management lifecycle.
• Each function includes categories and subcategories that describe desired risk management outcomes.
• The framework emphasizes trustworthy AI principles such as safety, security, privacy, fairness, accountability, and transparency.
• "Profiles" allow organizations to tailor the framework to their specific sector, use case, or risk tolerance (e.g. a generative AI profile).
• Supplementary resources: AI RMF Playbook, Roadmap, and crosswalks.
