NIST AI RMF MANAGE 2
You plan how to get the benefits while limiting harm, and you can switch a system off if needed.
What NIST says
Strategies to maximize AI benefits and minimize negative impacts are planned, prepared, implemented, documented, and informed by input from relevant AI actors.
Category statement quoted from NIST AI 100-1 (AI RMF 1.0). Function: MANAGE, risks are prioritized and acted upon based on a projected impact.
Evidence that shows you're doing it
- Mitigation plans with owners
- Documented way to disable or roll back an AI system
Rate yourself
- Not done
- Ad hoc
- Defined
- Operating
- Measured and improving
The AI Governance Toolkit (Professional, $599) has the NIST AI RMF mapping workbook: maturity scoring, evidence, owners and next steps for every category, plus the ISO/IEC 42001 crosswalk.
Other MANAGE categories
- MANAGE 1: Risks found in Map and Measure are ranked and have a decision: treat, transfer, accept or stop.
- MANAGE 3: Risks from third-party AI are monitored and managed, not just checked once at purchase.
- MANAGE 4: Treatments, incident response and communication plans for AI risks are written down and reviewed regularly.
