When it helps

Structure discussion of risks, responsibilities and controls for an AI use.

How to start

Connect the risk-management framework to a specific AI use case. Record allowed behaviour, costly failures and affected people; keep evaluation results alongside the deployment decision.

Limits to keep in mind

NIST presents the framework for voluntary use. Using it does not establish certification or automatic legal compliance.

Three points to record with the decision.

  1. 01

    Selected document version.

  2. 02

    Risks specific to the system and its use.

  3. 03

    Human decision and test evidence.
