- To measure the financial return on investment of the AI project so leadership can compare it against other competing initiatives for budget priority.Plausible but wrong because ROI analysis is a business-case exercise, not an assessment of impacts and risks to affected people.
- To systematically identify and evaluate the potential impacts and risks of the AI system on individuals, groups, and society before it is deployed. ✓Correct because an impact assessment surfaces risks to people and society so they can be addressed prior to deployment.
- To benchmark the model's accuracy against competing commercial products so procurement can select the highest-performing option currently available.Wrong because vendor benchmarking evaluates performance, not the system's potential impacts on individuals and society.
- To document the software architecture and infrastructure dependencies so the engineering team can plan the production release schedule effectively.Plausible but wrong because architectural documentation supports engineering, not the identification of impacts and risks.
The trap
Confusing an impact assessment with an ROI, benchmarking, or architecture-planning exercise. How to remember it
An AI impact assessment identifies and evaluates the system's potential impacts and risks on people and society before deployment.
