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 EU AI Act program is the largest policy prototyping initiative to date, engaging over 60 participants from more than 50 companies developing AI and ML products. The program was structured into three pillars, each focusing on key articles of the EU proposal and assessing and scrutinizing them.

The Open Loop India program was a collaborative effort between Meta, ArtEZ University of the Arts and The Dialogue, to develop a stakeholder engagement framework that operationalizes the principle of human-centered AI.

This program aimed to develop and test a risk assessment framework, called ADIA (Automated Decision Impact Assessment), for AI applications deployed in Europe.
