AI governance: AI risk translator

Effective AI governance requires a clear understanding of the risks associated with AI use. Once you have mapped your organization's AI use cases and exposure, you can begin to identify, assess, and prioritize the risks they create. 

The AI risk translator provides a practical approach to defining specific risk scenarios, evaluating how each AI use could fail, cause harm, create noncompliance, or exceed organizational risk tolerance. 

What's in the guide:
  • Ten risk lenses to identify and assess AI risks 
  • A practical framework for writing clear, actionable risk scenarios
  • Guidance on creating a risk matrix for inherent and residual risk, and a system-level risk worksheet to document risks, safeguards, treatment decisions, and owners.

    Download the AI risk translator below. This guide is part 3 of 5 in a comprehensive toolkit outlining AI governance in five connected steps.
