The following statement can be attributed to Paul Lekas, Senior Vice President, Global Policy, Software & Information Industry Association.
“SIIA congratulates the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on the release of its Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Framework (AI RMF 1.0) that provides voluntary guidance for the designing, developing, deploying and using AI. The RMF reflects the culmination of a collaborative, transparent, and expert-driven process over the past 18 months. It will have a significant role in guiding discussion about AI policy in the United States and internationally. We commend NIST’s efforts to provide detailed guidance for identifying and managing the risks associated with AI technology to ensure that the benefits of AI are realized and the risks are minimized.
“SIIA looks forward to continued engagement with NIST, along with the executive branch and Congress to advance sound AI policy that promotes innovation and fosters safe, responsible, and reliable AI tools and technologies.”
