NIST’s Generative AI Profile supports organizational governance of generative AI risks.

The Claim

Organizations can use NIST's Generative AI Profile as a governance reference.

Verified by Lenz ·

The Short Version

NIST expressly designed its Generative AI Profile to help organizations govern and manage generative AI risks. It can therefore serve as a governance reference, although it is voluntary guidance rather than a binding regulation or automatic guarantee of legal compliance.

Caveats

  • The Profile is voluntary and does not impose binding legal requirements.
  • Using the Profile does not by itself establish compliance with applicable laws or regulations.
  • Organizations should adapt its guidance to their specific risks, goals, and regulatory obligations.

  10. ITI is committed to fostering the responsible development and deployment of AI. We have been actively engaged in shaping AI policy around the world. We have also been engaged with NIST on both AI and cybersecurity related subjects throughout the last several years, including in the development of the Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF) and AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF). We are also a member of the U.S. AI Safety Institute Consortium. In 2021, we issued a set of Global AI Policy Recommendations, aimed at helping governments facilitate an environment that supports AI while simultaneously recognizing that there are challenges that need to be addressed as the uptake of AI grows around the world. We also launched our AI Futures Initiative in 2023, an initiative comprised of technical and policy experts aimed at addressing challenging questions that are emerging in the global conversation on AI. We have published several policy papers via this Initiative, including on the AI Value Chain and Foundation Models, and on AI Generated Content Authentication.
