NIST's Initial Public Draft provides three illustrative use cases for generative AI supporting CSF 2.0 governance and profile development. It emphasizes approved tools, privacy and security review, provenance, current source data, and qualified human validation; it does not create enforceable duties or demonstrate validated performance.
Action required
Organizations considering these illustrative workflows should use authorized AI tools, apply existing privacy and security policies, preserve source provenance for AI-assisted mappings, and require qualified human review before organizational decision-making. These are draft-guidance recommendations, not legal duties established by the supplied source.
