Unowned residual risk: What risk remains?

AIGP Understanding the Foundations of AI Governance Easy

Documentation does not assign authority to accept residual risk; executive accountability remains the specific unresolved governance issue.

The question

An energy company adds a maintenance checklist after an AI tool misses equipment faults. The checklist improves documentation, but no executive is assigned authority to accept remaining risk. What risk remains?

  1. Unowned residual risk ✓
    A checklist improves process evidence, but unresolved risk still lacks an accountable executive with authority to decide and resource mitigation.
  2. Insufficient checklist formatting
    Formatting may affect usability, but it is not the specific governance gap created by missing executive accountability.
  3. Limited maintenance scheduling
    Scheduling could affect operations, but the scenario specifically identifies absent executive authority over residual risk.
  4. Excessive technical monitoring
    Monitoring may reveal additional issues, but the stated remaining problem is authority for accepting unresolved risk.
The trap
After evaluating a mitigation, ask which decision authority, resource commitment, or escalation responsibility remains unassigned.

How to remember it

Documentation does not assign authority to accept residual risk; executive accountability remains the specific unresolved governance issue.
