Implementing The NIST Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Framework – Map

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) published its Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Framework (NIST AI 100-1) in January 2023.

The NIST AI Framework consists of 19 categories and 72 subcategories within the following four core functions:

1. Govern
2. Map
3. Measure
4. Manage

We covered the implementation of the Govern function here.

In this article, we focus on considerations when assessing and implementing the Map function of the NIST AI Risk Management Framework. The NIST AI Risk Management Framework can be utilized as a baseline control set to help support compliance with emerging AI regulations such as the EU AI Act.

The Map function includes five categories and 18 subcategory controls as listed in Table 1 below.
