The new artificial intelligence framework released by the National Institute of Standards and Technology is “not a checklist” for AI, said Reva Schwartz, a research scientist and principal investigator for AI bias at NIST.
Schwartz, who spoke Thursday during an American Bar Association webinar on AI governance, said NIST’s AI Risk Management Framework (RMF) is intended to help AI developers and organizations better manage the risks associated with the technology.
Though aimed at those groups, the AI RMF takes a rights approach that is focused on individuals, said Schwartz.

Cyberattacks on artificial intelligence systems are increasing, so it’s important users know their vulnerabilities and try to soften the damage if they get hit, according to a new report by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
It’s all hands on deck at the White House to put into motion the dozens of directives in President Joe Biden’s executive order on artificial intelligence, according to Nik Marda, chief of staff for the Technology Division in the Office of Science and Technology Policy.
Companies that design powerful artificial intelligence systems must perform safety tests on the programs and share results with the U.S. government under a sweeping executive order intended to make AI safe while furthering robust innovation.
Data governance has become a key concern for companies, especially when the EU AI Act and General Data Protection Regulation have put a premium on handling data responsibly and ensuring that artificial intelligence does not cause harm.
The era of artificial intelligence adoption is testing the old ways of doing compliance, underscoring the need for continuous monitoring. Compliance isn’t a one-and-done activity, but sometimes organizational incentives and goals fail to prioritize the importance of this.
While companies are exploring and building artificial intelligence technology, lawmakers and regulators are trying to identify what ground rules they need to set. These guardrails are what companies and governments alike believe are essential parts of ensuring safe and responsible use of the technology.
