Question 1 of 9Accountability by design

What is the core of an AI governance framework?

Flashcards for this module

  • Risk register
    A 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 tiers
    Unacceptable (banned), High (strict obligations), Limited (transparency), Minimal. Classification depends on the use case and sector. Timeline enforced in phases.
  • NIST AI RMF
    U.S. AI Risk Management Framework: govern, map, measure, manage. The free anchor reference for responsible AI governance.
  • Bias assessment
    Systematically checking an AI system's training data, design, and outputs for unfair outcomes across groups: before and after deployment.
  • Consent model
    Defines how and when people agree to their data being used by AI: required for trust and, in regulated contexts, compliance.
  • Attribution problem
    Proving 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.
