Have we defined who is accountable for the AI system’s decisions and outcomes?

AI outputs can lead to mistakes or even cause harm. In such cases, is it clear who is responsible within your organization? Are accountability structures clearly defined and documented?

If you answered No then you are at risk

If you are not sure, then you might be at risk too

Recommendations

  • Assign and communicate responsibilities for AI decision-making, considering both legal and ethical accountability.
  • Use decision logs and role-based access control to document and track accountability throughout the AI system’s lifecycle.
  • Get leadership involved in maintaining oversight, keeping accountability a priority at all levels.
