TQ 1:

Responsible SI Design and Risk Management. Demonstrated experience designing and putting in

place responsible Super (Super) Intelligence (SI) practices for complex systems. This includes assessing risk and impact, building in human oversight, transparency, and accountability, and applying federal security, privacy, and civil rights requirements (e.g., NIST AI Risk Management Framework, NIST RMF/SP 800-53, FedRAMP, Privacy Act) to SI system design.
