The intended purpose and decision authority remain unclear: What remaining risk must be addressed first?

AIGP Understanding How to Govern AI Development Medium

A mitigation cannot be evaluated without knowing whether the system triages applications or recommends consequential outcomes.

The question

A university proposes an AI system for research administration and plans to mitigate bias by adding an explanation dashboard. The proposal does not specify whether the system will prioritize applications for staff review or recommend final funding outcomes. What remaining risk must be addressed first?

  1. The dashboard should display additional model metrics.
    Additional metrics may support interpretation, but they cannot resolve whether the system supports triage or makes consequential recommendations.
  2. Staff should receive training on dashboard interpretation.
    Training may improve use, but staff cannot apply suitable oversight until the system’s intended role and authority are specified.
  3. The intended purpose and decision authority remain unclear. ✓
    Without a defined purpose and authority, the dashboard cannot establish suitable limits, oversight, evaluation, or accountability for funding decisions.
  4. The system may need more training data.
    More data might help later, but unclear decision purpose prevents determining appropriate training targets, users, controls, and evaluation criteria.
The trap
If the proposed system has multiple possible roles, define its purpose and authority before judging controls.

How to remember it

A mitigation cannot be evaluated without knowing whether the system triages applications or recommends consequential outcomes.
