- Trustworthiness: It helps improve the trustworthiness of AI systems.
- Consensus-Driven: Developed through an open, transparent, and collaborative process.
- Companion Playbook: A companion NIST AI RMF Playbook provides additional resources and guidance.
Use Cases:
- AI System Design: Incorporating risk management considerations into the design of AI systems.
- AI System Development: Managing risks during the development process.
- AI System Evaluation: Evaluating the trustworthiness and risk profile of AI systems.
- Policy Making: Informing the development of AI-related policies and regulations.
