Implementation considerations
-
Identify the geographic locations where your AI system will operate, including where data will be collected and processed and where decisions will be made or applied. This geographic scope may determine which laws and regulations apply to your system, so be specific about countries, states, or regions rather than using a simple global or multi-regional scope.
-
Work with your legal team to understand the specific regulatory requirements that apply to your use case in each geographic location, including AI-specific regulations, data protection laws, and industry-specific rules. Make sure to understand both current requirements and upcoming regulations that might affect your timeline.
-
Find and review your organization's existing policies for AI use cases, including responsible AI principles, data governance standards, and approval procedures that specify what documentation you need to provide. Determine which teams or committees need to sign off on your project before you can proceed.
-
Connect with the appropriate governance bodies or approval committees in your organization to understand their evaluation process, timeline expectations, and information they need from you to approve your AI use case. Schedule early conversations to get guidance on how to structure your proposal and what potential concerns they might have about your specific use case.
