The exception needs an expiry: Which distinction controls the decision?

AIGP Understanding the Foundations of AI Governance Hard

A policy exception requires bounded duration, accountable ownership, and compensating controls before authorization.

The question

A public-benefit agency wants a six-month exception to its approved-use policy for a pilot chatbot. The pilot has a named project manager, but the request omits an end date and compensating controls. Which distinction controls the decision?

  1. The agency should require additional user training before deciding.
    Training may be relevant, but it does not resolve the missing expiry and compensating-control requirements in the request.
  2. A pilot can proceed once the project manager accepts accountability.
    Naming an accountable person helps, but accountability alone does not bound duration or address risks created by the exception.
  3. The agency should approve the pilot provisionally and revisit controls afterward.
    Deferring controls permits the exception before its risks and boundaries are defined, weakening governance during the pilot.
  4. The exception needs an expiry, owner, and compensating controls before authorization. ✓
    A controlled exception requires bounded duration, accountable ownership, and safeguards addressing risks introduced by departing from policy.
The trap
Look for owner, expiry, scope, rationale, and compensating controls; a pilot label does not remove those needs.

How to remember it

A policy exception requires bounded duration, accountable ownership, and compensating controls before authorization.
