# AI Governance

Comprehensive guidance for AI governance, regulatory compliance, and responsible AI practices, including EU AI Act and NIST AI Risk Management Framework.

## When to Use This Skill

- Classifying AI systems under EU AI Act risk categories
- Conducting AI risk assessments using NIST AI RMF
- Implementing responsible AI principles
- Preparing for AI compliance audits
- Creating AI system documentation and model cards
- Establishing AI governance frameworks
- Conducting AI ethics reviews

## Quick Reference

### EU AI Act Risk Classification

| Risk Level | Description | Examples | Requirements |
|------------|-------------|----------|--------------|
| **Unacceptable** | Prohibited practices | Social scoring, subliminal manipulation, exploitation of vulnerabilities | Banned outright |
| **High-Risk** | Safety/rights impact | Employment AI, credit scoring, biometric ID, critical infrastructure | Strict compliance |
| **Limited Risk** | Transparency needed | Chatbots, emotion recognition, deepfakes | Disclosure required |
| **Minimal Risk** | Low/no regulation | Spam filters, game AI, recommendation systems | Voluntary codes |

### NIST AI RMF Functions

| Function | Purpose | Key Activities |
|----------|---------|----------------|
| **Govern** | Cultivate risk culture | Policies, accountability, governance structures |
| **Map** | Understand context | Stakeholders, impacts, constraints, requirements |
| **Measure** | Assess and track | Risk metrics, testing, monitoring, evaluation |
| **Manage** | Prioritize and act | Mitigations, responses, documentation |

### Responsible AI Principles

| Principle | Description | Implementation |
|-----------|-------------|----------------|
| **Fairness** | Equitable treatment, bias mitigation | Fairness metrics, bias testing, diverse data |
| **Transparency** | Explainable decisions | XAI methods, model cards, documentation |
| **Accountability** | Clear ownership and oversight | Governance roles, audit trails, escalation |
| **Privacy** | Data protection, consent | PII handling, anonymization, consent management |
| **Safety** | Reliable, secure operation | Testing, monitoring, incident response |
| **Human Oversight** | Meaningful human control | HITL design, override mechanisms, review |
