NIST AI Risk Management Framework Fundamentals is a six-week, foundation-level introduction to the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology’s voluntary framework for managing the risks of artificial intelligence, taught for the Nigerian context. It covers why AI risk is genuinely different from ordinary IT risk, the four functions at the heart of the framework — Govern, Map, Measure and Manage — and how a Nigerian organisation can put the framework to work under the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 and a watching NDPC.

By the end you will be able to explain the framework in plain language, walk through each of its four functions, and operationalise it through profiles and risk scoring — including how it sits alongside ISO/IEC 42001 and the NDPA.

For: Compliance officers, risk managers, internal auditors, AI and IT leaders, data protection officers, and public-sector and university administrators who need a practical, structured way to govern AI.
