AI Risk Management Framework - Engage | NIST

The document describes NIST's process for developing a voluntary AI Risk Management Framework through broad stakeholder engagement. The governance rationale centers on managing AI risks to users and society broadly, consistent with a consumer/public safety framing. Secondary frames include innovation enablement (voluntary, collaborative framework) and social stability (civil society inclusion, bias workshops).

From the start of this initiative, NIST has been offered those with a broad range of experience, expertise, and interests the opportunity to take part in workshops , respond to a Request for Information (RFI), review draft reports and other documents including draft approaches and versions of the framework , and other ways to provide input. NIST also has reached out directly to AI practitioners along with others across a full spectrum of interests domestically and internationally. This includes those from companies, government agencies, academia, and not-for-profit organizations representing civil society and consumers. NIST has actively encouraged direct input either formally or informally, and many organizations and individuals have contributed their insights to NIST, which has considered all suggestions. The extensive response has helped to shape NIST’s work on the AI RMF and the companion AI RMF Playbook each step of the way. NIST will continue to foster extensive and meaningful engagement even after NIST released AI RMF 1.0 on January 26, 2023. That engagement will progress as organizations and individuals gain experience with the Framework and provide NIST with feedback so that it can produce and adjust complementary guidance for using the AI RMF. Those inputs will assist NIST with the eventual revision to the Framework after the community gains several years of experience putting the AI RMF to use and additional research is conducted to advance the field. NIST also welcomes comments on the AI RMF Roadmap and AI RMF Crosswalks .

NIST relies on workshops to gather public and private stakeholder information, feedback, and perspectives. Multiple related AI workshops have been held and are being scheduled.
