Flashcards for this module
- Risk registerA living table of AI risks: category, likelihood × impact scoring, owner, and mitigation. The core of a governance framework that survives audit.
- EU AI Act risk tiersUnacceptable (banned), High (strict obligations), Limited (transparency), Minimal. Classification depends on the use case and sector. Timeline enforced in phases.
- NIST AI RMFU.S. AI Risk Management Framework: govern, map, measure, manage. The free anchor reference for responsible AI governance.
- Bias assessmentSystematically checking an AI system's training data, design, and outputs for unfair outcomes across groups: before and after deployment.
- Consent modelDefines how and when people agree to their data being used by AI: required for trust and, in regulated contexts, compliance.
- Attribution problemProving how much of an outcome is caused by AI vs other factors. The hardest part of AI ROI: requires a baseline and control/cohort thinking.
