AI Risk Management Framework (NIST AI RMF)
Animated whiteboard explainer: AI Risk Management Framework (NIST AI RMF)
Overview
What if you could systematically address the risks of artificial intelligence before they become problems? The NIST AI Risk Management Framework offers a structured approach to identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks throughout an AI system's lifecycle.
Key Components
Designed for organizations deploying AI, it helps align risk management with business objectives and ethical considerations. Visualized as a dynamic, iterative process, the framework consists of three core functions—governance, map, and treat—each with specific activities and outcomes.
How to Apply
To apply it, start by defining your risk context, then map AI risks, and finally implement controls to manage them. By embedding this framework into your operations, you build trust, ensure compliance, and drive responsible innovation.
