AI0-001 AI Governance and Ethics Practice Question
Which NIST AI RMF function involves identifying the context, risks, and potential impacts of an AI system, including mapping the AI lifecycle and stakeholders?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Map
The AI RMF's four functions are: Govern, Map, Measure, Manage. Map focuses on context and risk identification. Govern sets policies. Measure evaluates metrics. Manage addresses risks through controls.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Manage
Why it's wrong here
Manage allocates resources to treat risks after they have been prioritised, so it presupposes the context and impact mapping already completed. It is tempting because Manage sounds like the broadest oversight function; it would be correct for selecting and implementing risk treatments and monitoring their effectiveness.
- ✗
Measure
Why it's wrong here
Measure quantifies and tracks AI risks using metrics, but the stem asks about establishing context, mapping the lifecycle and identifying stakeholders — that is the Map function's purpose. Measure is tempting because it also addresses risk, and would be correct once risks are already framed and need ongoing monitoring.
- ✓
Map
Why this is correct
Map is the NIST AI RMF function that establishes context by identifying risks, impacts, stakeholders and the AI lifecycle. It satisfies the stem's requirement for contextual analysis, unlike Govern (policy), Measure (testing) or Manage (treatment), which address different stages of the framework.
- ✗
Govern
Why it's wrong here
Govern establishes policies, roles and accountability structures across the AI lifecycle, not the context and impact mapping itself. It is tempting because governance sounds foundational to any risk effort; it would be correct for defining organisational risk tolerance, responsibilities and oversight processes.
