Hello

Relevant Cross-Sectoral Regulatory Principles
Safety, Security & Robustness
Safety, security and robustness controls are tested against a system development use case and throughout the system lifecycle. More concretely, they require organisations to think about their objectives, identify potential areas of misuse, and determine the appropriate training and metrics for the model to ensure safe and secure operation. Additionally, they highlight the importance of human oversight and testing as means to establish assurance.

Appropriate Transparency & Explainability
The RAI Institute AIIA puts in place controls to ensure that users of an AI system are aware of the existence and extent of their interaction with it, and understand its intended use(s), functioning, performance, and limitations. These transparency and explainability controls flow through all stages of the system lifecycle and are aligned with AI actor roles, which should be clearly defined and established.

Fairness
The RAI Institute AIIA puts in place controls to assess potential bias and fairness impacts in relation to an AI system throughout all stages of the system lifecycle. This assessment translates to team composition and stakeholder consultation, training data, model and system development and functioning.

Accountability & Governance
Accountability is a key theme running throughout the assessment tool, inspiring organisations to account for and review all the stakeholders involved throughout the system lifecycle and ensure appropriate controls are put in place, along with relevant monitoring and compliance mechanisms. Procedural governance mechanisms are considered in the broader system level assessment framework which the AIIA forms part of.

Contestability & Redress
The RAI Institute AIIA address contestability and redress through a comprehensive framework that emphasises ongoing public consultation and stakeholder engagement across the system lifecycle. This process is designed to surface and address concerns, risks, and potential impacts, particularly by engaging with groups that may be impacted and facilitating a mechanism for receiving and addressing feedback and grievances. In relation to the deployment stage, controls are put in place to ensure accountability and offer remedies for errors or inaccuracies, including robust mechanisms for recourse and remedy.
