Organizations should clearly describe the purpose and capabilities of each AI system.

Risk Assessment Records

Documenting how risk levels are determined ensures transparency in AI governance decisions.

Operational Monitoring

Companies should track how AI systems perform and whether unexpected behavior occurs.
