Advancing AI Audits for Enhanced AI Governance
It tackles the problem of insufficient risk management in AI governance for companies and organizations, but it is incremental as it builds on existing discussions about AI principles and audits.
This policy recommendation addresses the need for independent audits of AI services and systems to enhance AI governance, proposing three key recommendations: developing institutional designs, training human resources, and updating audits with technological progress.
As artificial intelligence (AI) is integrated into various services and systems in society, many companies and organizations have proposed AI principles, policies, and made the related commitments. Conversely, some have proposed the need for independent audits, arguing that the voluntary principles adopted by the developers and providers of AI services and systems insufficiently address risk. This policy recommendation summarizes the issues related to the auditing of AI services and systems and presents three recommendations for promoting AI auditing that contribute to sound AI governance. Recommendation1.Development of institutional design for AI audits. Recommendation2.Training human resources for AI audits. Recommendation3. Updating AI audits in accordance with technological progress. In this policy recommendation, AI is assumed to be that which recognizes and predicts data with the last chapter outlining how generative AI should be audited.
