NIST Releases Draft AI Risk Management Framework for Public Comment

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”) issued its initial draft of the “AI Risk Management Framework” (“AI RMF”), which aims to provide voluntary, risk-based guidance on the design, development, and deployment of AI systems.  NIST is seeking public comments on this draft via email, at AIframework@nist.gov, through April 29, 2022.  Feedback received on this draft will be incorporated into the second draft of the framework, which will be issued this summer or fall.
