NIST TEVV-Athlon Framework for Evaluating AI Systems

Below are its 10 steps in the framework's own order, and under each one the laws we track that bear on it. Each mapping is our reading that a law bears on a step, never a finding that running the step meets the law.

Draft National Institute of Standards and Technology released this edition as a draft, and the final edition may differ. We check its page every week, and a new edition is read against the law again. Every draft we track

The TEVV-Athlon Framework

3 of 4 steps with law

The TEVV-Athlon Framework is a structured approach to developing assessments of AI systems. The framework can help organizations assess system attributes, trustworthiness characteristics, and operational goals relevant to their needs.
