AIGP Understanding the Foundations of AI Governance Medium

The agency needs an escalation path and authorized decision-maker able to intervene when risk remains unresolved.

The question

A public-benefit agency’s eligibility-support tool produces inconsistent recommendations for applicants with similar records. Frontline staff lack authority to suspend use, and the program director has not resolved whether to continue deployment. What governance capability is missing?

  1. Additional user training on interpreting recommendations.
    Training may help, but it does not resolve the absence of authority to escalate or suspend problematic use.
  2. A defined escalation route with suspension authority. ✓
    Unresolved risk requires a clear route to decision-makers empowered to pause or change deployment.
  3. A vendor statement describing intended system behavior.
    Vendor information can clarify design, but it cannot substitute for organizational escalation and suspension authority.
  4. A larger accuracy sample from routine cases.
    More evidence may inform decisions, but the immediate governance gap is authority for escalation and intervention.
The trap
For unresolved risk, locate the person empowered to intervene—not merely the person collecting evidence.

How to remember it

The agency needs an escalation path and authorized decision-maker able to intervene when risk remains unresolved.
