​
Validate

The Validate stage records governance validation activities performed before or during operation of an AI system.

​
When to use it

Use Validate when the governance process requires confirmation that defined conditions, controls, decisions, or other requirements have been appropriately addressed.

​
What to enter

Record the validation information, including where applicable:
  • Validation scope
  • Items or conditions being validated
  • Relevant requirements, controls, or approval conditions
  • Validation results
  • Findings or exceptions
  • Required corrective actions
  • Supporting evidence
  • Person responsible for validation
  • Validation date
Validation should be performed using the applicable organizational process and defined criteria.

​
What the result means

A validation record documents whether the items within scope were validated and identifies any findings, exceptions, or required actions. Validation provides governance assurance about the specific items examined. It does not by itself constitute certification or conformity assessment.

​
What comes next

After applicable validation activities are complete, proceed to monitoring and ongoing governance activities. Continue with Monitor.

​
Framework reference

Follow the applicable AIGO Framework guidance for validation, assurance, evidence, controls, and governance decisions.
