A firm's board is setting AI governance. Which arrangement best reflects good practice for accountability?
Best practice is to give each AI use case a clearly accountable senior owner, maintain an inventory of AI applications, apply risk-based controls and provide board-level oversight. Delegating to vendors, self-certification or waiting for specific rules leaves accountability gaps.
- ADelegating all AI oversight to the vendor's engineers
- BAssigning clear senior-management ownership of each AI use case, with board-level oversight, an inventory of AI applications and risk-based controlsCorrect
- CRelying on individual developers to self-certify their models without review
- DPostponing governance until a regulator issues a specific AI rule
Explanation
Good practice requires clear accountability at senior level, board oversight, an inventory of AI use cases and controls scaled to risk. Delegation to vendors, self-certification and waiting for rules leave gaps, since existing supervisory expectations already apply.
