A voluntary framework from the National Institute of Standards and Technology helping organizations manage AI risks. Organized around four functions: Govern, Map, Measure, and Manage. Released January 26, 2023; NIST added a Generative AI Profile (NIST-AI-600-1) on July 26, 2024, and says AI RMF 1.0 is being revised as part of the White House AI Action Plan. Texas TRAIGA says a defendant may not be found liable for a violation it discovers through an internal review process while substantially complying with the most recent NIST Generative AI Profile or another nationally or internationally recognized risk management framework.
The NIST AI RMF is voluntary — there is no legal penalty for not following it. But it provides the most practical, detailed guidance available for building an AI governance program from scratch. Its four-function structure (Govern, Map, Measure, Manage) maps well to the governance activities small teams can actually implement: documenting AI use, assessing risks, tracking incidents, and improving over time. Texas TRAIGA protects defendants that substantially comply with NIST's Generative AI Profile or another recognized framework, so following it can also help you answer an enforcement action there.
