Sociotechnical System

A framework for understanding AI as an interlinked system of technology, people, organisations and social structures, emphasizing that responsible AI requires addressing all these components.

Recognising that AI doesn't exist in a vacuum; it's part of a larger system involving people, organisations, laws and culture. A hiring AI's impact depends not just on the code, but on how HR uses it.

Effective AI governance recognises that managing AI risk requires more than technical controls. Your governance framework must address the people, processes and organisational structures that surround AI systems, not just the technology itself.
