BPC Statement on NIST AI RMF Launch

The Bipartisan Policy Center is pleased to see the launch of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Risk Management Framework by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This voluntary Framework is a key step forward in addressing some of the issues of bias, fairness, privacy, security, and more. It will be a valuable tool in managing AI’s negative and positive impacts and promoting trustworthiness in the technology.

We support NIST’s approach to developing this Framework by opening a dialogue and gathering feedback from a multidisciplinary set of stakeholders. Its approach ensures the Framework is inclusive of all impacted stakeholders throughout the lifecycle of an AI system and considers the potential impact of AI on different groups of people.

BPC is committed to promoting and implementing this Framework with our network and stakeholders. We will complement the work by NIST in our continued work to promote responsible, ethical, and trustworthy AI systems. We look forward to working with NIST to ensure continuous improvement of the Framework.
