As artificial intelligence (AI) technologies rapidly evolve, the need for responsible AI practices becomes increasingly crucial. Researchers, government bodies, and organizations have emphasized the importance of transitioning from general principles to actionable practices to mitigate potential sociotechnical harms. The AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF) developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) represents a growing consensus on how to operationalize these practices effectively.

The NIST AI RMF provides a comprehensive framework for organizations to manage the risks associated with AI systems effectively. By evaluating their alignment with the NIST AI RMF, organizations can ensure they are adopting responsible AI practices that mitigate sociotechnical harms. This proactive approach not only enhances the organization's reputation but also fosters trust among stakeholders and promotes the ethical development and deployment of AI technologies.
