Summary

NIST AI 600-1 is a specialized profile of the AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF 1.0) focused on generative AI systems, identifying 12 risk categories unique to or exacerbated by generative AI such as confabulation, CBRN information disclosure, harmful bias, and data privacy. It provides concrete suggested actions for organizations to manage these risks across the AI lifecycle. Developed in response to President Biden's Executive Order on AI, it serves as a practical governance companion to the broader AI RMF.

Key Points

  • Identifies 12 generative AI-specific risk categories including confabulation, data privacy, harmful bias, information integrity, and CBRN information disclosure.
  • Provides suggested actions mapped to AI RMF functions (Govern, Map, Measure, Manage) for operationalizing risk management in generative AI contexts.
  • Developed by NIST under President Biden's Executive Order on Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy AI, giving it official U.S. government policy backing.
  • Covers risks across the full AI lifecycle: design, development, deployment, and operation of generative AI systems.
  • Serves as a practical companion to AI RMF 1.0, helping organizations embed trustworthiness into generative AI products and services.

About AI at NIST: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) develops measurements,
technology, tools, and standards to advance reliable, safe, transparent, explainable, privacy-enhanced,
and fair artificial intelligence (AI) so that its full commercial and societal benefits can be realized without
harm to people or the planet. NIST, which has conducted both fundamental and applied work on AI for
more than a decade, is also helping to fulfill the 2023 Executive Order on Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy
AI. NIST established the U.S. AI Safety Institute and the companion AI Safety Institute Consortium to
continue the efforts set in motion by the E.O. to build the science necessary for safe, secure, and
trustworthy development and use of AI.
