United States Framework Voluntary standard

NIST AI RMF

NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF 1.0) and Generative AI Profile

The NIST AI Risk Management Framework is a voluntary framework for managing risks to individuals, organisations and society from AI. It organises practices into four functions: Govern, Map, Measure and Manage, and describes characteristics of trustworthy AI such as validity, safety, security, accountability, explainability, privacy and fairness. The July 2024 Generative AI Profile (NIST AI 600-1) adds risks and suggested actions specific to generative AI. Many US procurement requirements and state laws reference the framework as a recognised approach.

The EU AI Act is a binding regulation that sets rules for developing, placing on the market and using AI systems in the European Union.

Obligations apply in phases between 2025 and 2027.
