Visibility

Learn how to identify AI systems, owners, data, vendors and potential risks.

03

Action

Use practical questions and a 90-day roadmap to identify where to focus next.

AI Risk Management

Five questions every organization should be able to answer.

01

What AI do we use?

Can we identify the systems, tools and use cases across the organization?

02

Who owns it?

Is there clear accountability for each important AI use case?

03

What can go wrong?

Have we considered security, privacy, accuracy, bias, transparency and other impacts?

04

What controls apply?

Do our policies, processes and controls match the risk?

05

How do we know?

Do we monitor, review, record incidents and improve over time?
