A Flexible Maturity Model for AI Governance Based on the NIST AI Risk Management Framework

This new IEEE-USA AI Policy Committee publication presents a flexible maturity model to improve AI governance, leveraging the NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF). The maturity model includes a questionnaire and a set of scoring guidelines.  Key aspects of flexibility include multiple granularity levels for questions,  modifications based on the life cycle stage of systems being evaluated (e.g., planning, data collection/model building, or deployment), and modifications based on whether an organization has multiple AI systems to evaluate.
