AIGO — AI Governance Operating Framework

AI Monitoring Template

Version: 0.1 Status: Draft Working Name: AIGO Full Name: AI Governance Operating Framework Document Identifier: AIGO-TPL-009 Document Type: AI Monitoring Template Template Purpose: Controlled Monitoring of AI System Performance, Risk, Controls, and Governance

1. Template Purpose

This template provides the controlled structure for establishing, operating, reviewing, and improving monitoring of an AI system under the AIGO AI Governance Operating Framework. Monitoring should provide evidence that an AI system continues to operate within approved:
  • performance parameters;
  • risk tolerance;
  • control requirements;
  • governance conditions;
  • security requirements;
  • privacy requirements;
  • fairness requirements;
  • human-oversight requirements;
  • operational requirements.
Monitoring should also identify conditions requiring:
  • investigation;
  • risk reassessment;
  • control reassessment;
  • incident management;
  • change management;
  • escalation;
  • suspension;
  • corrective action;
  • assurance;
  • continual improvement.
This template does not replace the organization’s approved AIGO AI Monitoring Procedure.

2. Monitoring Instructions

49. Template Usage Instructions

This template should be completed according to the organization’s approved AIGO AI Monitoring Procedure. Monitoring should be designed according to the risk and characteristics of the AI system. Monitoring should not focus only on technical performance. Where relevant, it should also consider:
  • risk;
  • controls;
  • fairness;
  • privacy;
  • security;
  • human oversight;
  • incidents;
  • changes;
  • governance;
  • stakeholder impacts.
Monitoring indicators and thresholds should be sufficiently defined to support consistent decisions. A threshold breach should have a documented response. Material monitoring results should be retained as evidence. Monitoring should be reassessed when the system, risk profile, controls, operating environment, or applicable requirements materially change.
