AI0-001 AI Governance and Ethics Practice Question
An AI risk manager is applying the NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF). In which function would the organization establish a risk management process and assign roles and responsibilities for AI oversight?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common trap is to assume that the 'Manage' function covers all risk management activities including establishing processes and roles, because its name implies broad oversight. However, in the NIST AI RMF, 'Govern' is the specific function for setting up risk management processes and accountability structures, while 'Manage' is reserved for risk treatment after assessment.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Govern
The Govern function in the NIST AI RMF is specifically designed to establish organizational structures, policies, and accountability mechanisms for AI risk management. This includes defining roles and responsibilities, setting risk management processes, and ensuring oversight across the AI lifecycle. The other functions (Map, Measure, Manage) focus on different aspects such as understanding context, assessing risks, and treating risks, respectively.
