  • suitable;
  • adequate;
  • effective;
  • risk-appropriate;
  • properly resourced;
  • responsive to changes;
  • capable of achieving intended governance outcomes.
Management review should consider information from across the AIGO governance lifecycle, including:
  • AI portfolio;
  • organizational context;
  • governance performance;
  • AI classification;
  • risk;
  • controls;
  • monitoring;
  • incidents;
  • changes;
  • assurance;
  • accepted residual risk;
  • stakeholder feedback;
  • regulatory developments;
  • third-party dependencies;
  • continual improvement.
This template does not replace the organization’s approved AIGO Management Review or Governance Procedure.
