AI Governance Concept Scheme

Classification of AI governance concepts by risk level, principle, lifecycle phase, and assessment type.

• ▼By Risk Level
  • Unacceptable Risk
    Prohibited AI practices under EU AI Act Article 5.

    https://meta.linked.archi/ai-governance/tax#UnacceptableRiskConcept
  • ▼High Risk
    AI systems in Annex III domains requiring conformity assessment.

    • Employment & Workers
      AI in recruitment, selection, HR decisions, task allocation, and monitoring.

  • Limited Risk
    AI systems with transparency obligations (chatbots, deepfakes, emotion recognition).

    https://meta.linked.archi/ai-governance/tax#LimitedRiskConcept
  • Minimal Risk
    AI systems with no specific obligations (voluntary codes of conduct).

    https://meta.linked.archi/ai-governance/tax#MinimalRiskConcept
• ▼By Principle
  • Fairness
  • Transparency
  • Accountability
  • Safety & Robustness
  • Privacy & Data Governance
  • Human Agency & Oversight
  • Societal & Environmental Wellbeing
• ▼By Lifecycle Phase
  • Design & Development
    Governance activities during AI system design and development — risk assessment, data governance, bias prevention.

    https://meta.linked.archi/ai-governance/tax#DesignAndDevelopment
  • Testing & Validation
    Governance activities during testing — conformity assessment, bias testing, explainability validation.

    https://meta.linked.archi/ai-governance/tax#TestingAndValidation
  • Deployment
    Governance activities at deployment — transparency disclosure, human oversight activation, registration.

    https://meta.linked.archi/ai-governance/tax#Deployment
  • Monitoring & Maintenance
    Ongoing governance — incident tracking, periodic reassessment, drift monitoring, compliance reporting.

    https://meta.linked.archi/ai-governance/tax#MonitoringAndMaintenance
  • Decommissioning
    Governance activities at end-of-life — data retention, model archival, notification of affected parties.

• ▼By Assessment Type
  • Conformity Assessment
    Formal assessment against regulatory requirements.
