U.S. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT - BLUEPRINT FOR AN AI BILL OR RIGHTS

Making Automated Systems Work for The American People


The Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights is a Set of Five Principles and Associated Practices to Help Guide the Design, Use, and Deployment of Automated Systems to Protect the Rights of the American Public in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.


These Principles are a Blueprint for Building and Deploying Automated Systems that are Aligned with Democratic Values and Protection of Civil Rights, Civil Liberties and Privacy. 


1.  Safe and Effective Systems - Protection from Unsafe or Ineffective Systems


2.  Algorithmic Discrimination Protections - No Algorithms Discrimination, Systems Equitable Use & Design


3.  Data Privacy Protections - From Abusive Data Practices via Built-In Protection and How Your Data is Used


3.  Notice and Explanations - Than an Automated System is Being Used and How It Impacts You


5.  Human Alternatives, Consideration and Fallback - Ability to Opt Out, Access to Resources for Problems

U.S. DHS - CISA ROADMAP FOR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIENCE (2023 - 2024)


CISA's Role in Securing AI

CISA's Strategic Plan 2023-2025 Underpins CISA's Adaption to These Technologies and Each of CISA's Four Strategic Goals - Relevant to and Impacted by AI:

    Goal 1 - Cyber Defense        

     Goal 2 - Risk Reduction and Resilience

     Goal 3 - Operational Collaboration

     Goal 4 - Agency Utilization


CISA's Roadmap for Artificial Intelligence 

Unify and Accelerate CISA's AI Effort Along 5 Lines of Effort (LOE)

     Line of Effort 1 - Responsibly Use AI to Support Our Mission

     Line of Effort 2 - Assure AI Systems

     Line of Effort 3 - Protect Critical Infrastructure from Malicious Use of AI

     Line of Effort 4 - Collaborate/Communicate on Key AI Efforts - Interagency, International the Public

     Line of Effort 5 - Expand AI Expertise in Our Workforce

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK (AI RMF 1.0)

NIST AI RMF

The AI RMF Refers to an AI System as an Engineering or Machine-Based System that Can, for a Given Set of Objectives, Generate Outputs such as Predictions, Recommendations, or Decisions Influencing Real or Virtual Environments.


Goal -To Offer a Resource to the Organizations Designing, Developing, Deploying, or Using AI Systems to Help Manage 

the Many Risks of AI and Promote Trustworthy and Responsible Development and Use of AI Systems.


Voluntary - Rights-Preserving, Non-Sector-Specific and Use-Case Agnostic - Providing Flexibility to Organizations of All Sizes and in All Sectors and Throughout Society to Implement Framework Approaches,


Practical - To Adapt to the AI Landscape as AI Technologies Continue to Develop, and to Be  Operationalized by Organizations in Varying Degrees and Capacities so Society Can Benefit from AI While Also Being Protected from Its Potential Harm.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

NIST AI RMF - AI LIFECYCLE & DIMENSIONS
TWO INNER CIRCLES - AI SYSTEMS' KEY DIMENSIONS
OUTER CIRCLE - AI LIFECYCLE STAGES

AI DIMENSIONS - APPLICATION, CONTEXT, DATA & INPUT, AI MODEL, TASK & OUTPUT
Primary NIST AI RMF Audience - AI Actors Involved in These Dimensions Who Perform or Manage:
The Design, Development, Deployment, Evaluation, Use of AI Systems, and Who Drive AI Risk Management Efforts
Risk Management - Starts with the Plan & Design Function in the Application Context - Performed Throughout the AI System Lifecycle

NIST AI RMF - AI ACTORS ACROSS AI LIFECYCLES
AI ACTORS - ACROSS THE AI LIFECYCLE
Successful Risk Management - Depends Upon Collective Responsibility Among AI Actors
AI RMF Functions - Require Diverse Teams, Perspectives, Disciplines, Professions and Experiences

NIST AI RMF - AI LIFECYCLE & DIMENSIONS

NIST AI RMF CORE FUNCTIONS - GOVERN, MAP, MEASURE, MANAGE

Each of the High-Level Functions is Broken Down into Categories and Sub-Categories.
Categories and Sub-Categories are Divided into Specific Actions and Outcomes,
Functions Organize AI Risk Management Activities at their Highest Level to Govern, Map, Measure and Manage AI Risks
Governance is Designed to be a Cross-Cutting Function to Inform and Be Infused Throughout the Other Three Functions.
