Responsible AIPOM Governance Advisor
What Is It
Diagnose which governance condition most constrains responsible value: ownership, decision rights, autonomy, controls, escalation, cross-functional review, or trust evidence. Recommend a practical next intervention.
Why Use It
Principles and committees do not govern behavior by themselves. Governance becomes operational when named people make decisions through usable controls with evidence, escalation, and learning.
When to Use It
Use before launch or increased autonomy, after incidents, when governance slows work without clarifying decisions, or when policy and product-team practice diverge.
What It Produces
- Evidence-based governance diagnosis
- Critical gaps and constrained actions
- Policy-practice disagreements
- Recommended component skill, owner, and evidence plan
Who Should Participate
Include the accountable product or business owner, Product Manager, technical owner, operators, and legal, privacy, security, safety, risk, or governance partners proportionate to the context.
Evidence to Bring
Bring real approvals, actions, permissions, policies, control tests, exceptions, incidents, audit evidence, complaints, and examples of escalation or rollback.
How to Do It
- Define scope, operating level, affected people, and decision.
- Extract owners, AI actions, consequences, obligations, controls, and evidence.
- Diagnose ownership, authority, control, escalation, review, and assurance gaps.
- Separate legal requirements from recommended practice and flag jurisdiction.
- Identify any critical gap that constrains launch, scale, data use, or autonomy.
- Present intervention options and recommend the smallest effective motion.
- Assign a human owner, evidence expected, and review trigger.
Facilitation Protocol
Support guided, context-dump, and best-guess modes. Ask one consequential question at a time. Preserve legal, leadership, and practitioner disagreement. Do not infer compliance from missing evidence.
Decision Logic
- Use an accountability charter when decision rights and owners are unclear.
- Use an autonomy boundary when AI action authority is unclear.
- Use a behavior contract when acceptable conduct is undefined.
- Use a risk-control incident playbook when detection, rollback, or response is weak.
- Use a trust assurance pack when evidence exists but cannot be communicated or reviewed.
- Pause the constrained action when a non-negotiable condition is unresolved.
