Executive Summary

Acme Corp appears to have High AI governance documentation exposure. Primary drivers are EU and multi-state U.S. operations, employment / HR AI use, personal and employee data, and a third-party AI vendor with limited documentation. The most important gaps are Impact Assessment, Vendor Evidence File, and Human Oversight Plan. Legal review is strongly recommended.

10

Questions to Ask a Governance Professional

  • Does our HR system meet the EU AI Act 'high-risk' threshold under Annex III?
  • Which U.S. state AI employment laws apply to our footprint?
  • What contractual evidence are we entitled to from our model provider?
  • How should we document meaningful human review to satisfy GDPR Article 22?
11

Questions to Ask Your Vendor

  • Provide a system card or technical documentation for the deployed model.
  • Share a training data summary and known limitations.
  • Describe your evaluation methodology for bias and performance.
