Responsibilities

The Responsibilities stage identifies the people accountable for governing an AI system and maintains those assignments over time.

When to use it

Use Responsibilities after registering an AI system and whenever ownership or governance roles change.

What to enter

Record the people responsible for relevant governance activities, including where applicable:
  • System owner
  • Governance owner
  • Risk owner
  • Control owner
  • Review or approval responsibility
  • Other roles required by the organization’s governance arrangements
Use named people where the organization requires individual accountability. Record effective dates when responsibility assignments change.

What the result means

A responsibility assignment establishes who is accountable for a governance role during a defined period. Studio maintains responsibility history so that changes in ownership can be understood over time. Assigning a person to a role does not by itself constitute approval or authorization of the AI system.

What comes next

After responsibilities are established, classify the AI system according to the applicable AIGO governance process. Continue with Classify.

Framework reference

Follow the applicable AIGO Framework guidance for governance roles, responsibilities, and accountability.
