NIST AI RMF Playbook
The document frames AI governance around trustworthiness and risk management in AI system design and deployment, with voluntary guidance for organizations. The primary concern is ensuring safe, trustworthy AI across the lifecycle, aligning with consumer/public safety framing. Innovation enablement is secondary as the framework is voluntary and industry-collaborative.

The Playbook is based on AI RMF 1.0 (released on January 26, 2023) . It includes suggested actions, references, and related guidance to achieve the outcomes for the four functions in the AI RMF: Govern, Map, Measure, and Manage. Playbook suggestions are developed based on best practices and research insights. The AI RMF and the Playbook are intended for voluntary use. Organizations may utilize this information by borrowing as many – or as few – suggestions as apply to their industry use case or interests. Playbook content will evolve to enable community review and feedback about its informativeness, accuracy and specificity. The first complete version announced on March 30, 2023, includes options for filtering or tailoring information to user preferences and requirements. Comments are welcome anytime. The Playbook will be updated based on public comment as needed Feedback may be provided either as comments or as specific line-edit additions or modifications.
