Meta’s Open Loop launched its first policy prototyping research program in the United States in late 2023, focused on testing the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) AI Risk Management Framework (RMF) 1.0. This program gave participating companies the opportunity to learn about NIST's AI RMF and subsequent “Generative AI Profile” (NIST AI 600-1), and to understand how this guidance can be applied to developing and deploying generative AI systems. At the same time, the program gathered evidence on current practices and provided valuable insights and feedback to NIST, which can inform future iterations of the RMF and Gen AI profile.

The Open Loop Brazil program was launched in tandem with a twin policy prototyping program in Uruguay, with the aim of guiding and enabling companies in Brazil to leverage and apply privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) to help deidentify data and mitigate privacy-related risks.
