NIST AI RMF

Govern, Map, Measure, Manage.

The AI Risk Management Framework (AI 100-1, January 2023) is a voluntary framework for managing risks of AI systems. It organizes practice into four functions and defines trustworthiness characteristics: valid and reliable, safe, secure and resilient, accountable and transparent, explainable, privacy-enhanced, fair. A Generative AI Profile followed in 2024.

ISSUERNIST REGIONUnited States, voluntary CATEGORYAI CROSSWALKVersioned mapping onto the 15-control registry
EVIDENCE, NOT CERTIFICATION
01. WHO IT APPLIES TO

Is this one yours?

01US organizations building or deploying AI with no binding regulation yet
02Federal contractors, where agencies reference the RMF
03Teams that want a structure before the law arrives
02. KEY REQUIREMENTS

The parts of NIST AI RMF that touch what agents do.

GOVERN 1.7
Processes for decommissioning and phasing out AI systems safely.
MAP 2.3
Scientific integrity and test, evaluation, validation, and verification considerations are documented.
MEASURE 2.7
AI system security and resilience are evaluated and documented.
MANAGE 2.2
Mechanisms are in place to sustain the value of deployed systems, including human oversight and override.
03. HOW LORE MAPS TO IT

Enforcement controls, read against the requirement.

These controls exist because the platform needs them to run safely. The crosswalk reads their signed evidence against NIST AI RMF. Where there is no evidence, the report says gap.

04. OUT OF SCOPE

What Lore will not claim.

Fairness and bias measurement depend on your models and data.
Governance roles and risk tolerance are organizational.
05. QUESTIONS
Is the RMF mandatory?
No. It is voluntary, but it is the reference most US agencies and procurement teams cite.
Does the GenAI Profile matter?
Yes for agent deployments. It adds suggested actions on confabulation, information integrity, and human-AI configuration.
How does it relate to ISO 42001?
Different shapes, similar goals. The RMF is a framework; 42001 is a certifiable management system.
