Description
To meet the demand for enhanced safety, security, reliability, capacity, and efficiency, the nation’s critical infrastructure (CI) will increasingly rely on technological advancements such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) across Information Technology (IT), Operational Technology (OT), and Industrial Control Systems (ICS). Adopting AI in these high-stakes environments relies on AI systems being worthy of trust. The NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF) was developed to define and promote trustworthiness in AI systems through a repeatable, full lifecycle approach that organizations can use to unlock the benefits of AI while appropriately managing risks.
As part of its Strategy for American Technology Leadership in the 21st Century, the NIST Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) is supporting critical infrastructure sectors by launching the development of the AI RMF Trustworthy AI in Critical Infrastructure Profile. This profile will guide CI operators towards specific risk management practices to consider when engaging AI-enabled capabilities. It will then help them communicate their trustworthiness requirements in an actionable way to teams, developers, and other stakeholders across the AI and CI lifecycles and supply chains.
NIST AI RMF Profile on Trustworthy AI in Critical Infrastructure Community of Interest
NIST looks forward to engaging with industry, user groups, regulators, policymakers, academia, other stakeholders, and the broader community. Working collaboratively, NIST will develop a profile that provides critical infrastructure sectors with increased confidence to deploy AI agents and tools as part of their overall strategy. The profile should also offer developers and vendors with guidance and greater certainty to catalyze and highlight the development of innovative solutions based on managing risks and worthy of our trust.
NIST is creating a Trustworthy AI in Critical Infrastructure Profile Community of Interest to provide feedback to NIST. NIST welcomes participation from across the entire critical infrastructure ecosystem—including all sectors, organizational roles, and supply chain partners.
Sign up for our mailing list, and forthcoming Community Slack channel, where NIST will hold informal discussions and solicit real time feedback. All significant announcements will be made available via the mailing list.
