# National Institute of Standards and Technology The **National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)** appears in the first ACIN batch only as a generic standards reference. ACIN says its AI-supported systems are governed by "NIST cybersecurity and risk-management frameworks" ([[ACIN AI Fact Sheet]], p. 2). ## Roles in this corpus - Standards reference invoked in ACIN's public AI-governance description. ## Notes The fact sheet does not name a framework, publication number, version, profile, control selection, assessment, or adoption instrument. The production therefore does not show which NIST requirements, if any, were formally adopted or tested.
