AI Audit

A formal, systematic examination of an AI system's design, data, algorithms, outputs and governance processes to ensure compliance with ethical standards, regulations and organisational policies.

A thorough review of an AI system to make sure it's working properly, following the rules and not causing harm. Like a financial audit, but examining algorithms, data and outcomes instead of money.

Regular AI audits are essential for governance maturity. They verify that policies are being followed, risks are being managed and AI systems are performing as intended. Audit capability should be built into your AI governance framework from the start.
