Episode 25 — Build a Living AI Risk Register: Structure, Owners, Updates, and Reporting (Domain 2)
An AI Risk Register is the central repository for all identified risks, and it must function as a "living" document that evolves alongside the technology it tracks. This episode covers the essential structure of a risk register, including risk descriptions, impact scores, mitigation plans, and the specific individuals assigned as risk owners. For the AAIR exam, understanding how the register links back to the broader Enterprise Risk Management system is crucial for integrated reporting. We discuss the importance of regular update cycles to ensure that risks are not just identified but actively monitored through their entire lifecycle. Effective reporting from the register involves synthesizing detailed technical risks into high-level summaries for executive oversight, highlighting trends and critical gaps in the control environment. A common pitfall is allowing the register to become static; we address how to implement triggers for mandatory updates, such as model retraining or changes in the regulatory environment. By maintaining a dynamic and accurate risk register, organizations can ensure that priority risks remain visible to those with the authority to address them.
