The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology published its Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Framework. NIST said the voluntary framework aims to help the private and public sectors "adapt to the AI landscape as technologies continue to develop, and to be used by organizations in varying degrees and capacities." U.S. Department of Commerce Deputy Secretary Don Graves said the framework "should accelerate AI innovation and growth while advancing — rather than restricting or damaging — civil rights, civil liberties and equity for all."
