Driven by the need to address the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence (AI) and its associated risks and ethical considerations, the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) has released a new report, Regulatory Responsibilities for AI – Governance, Risk Management, Compliance and Cultural Aspects. The second report in a series focusing on defining regulatory responsibilities for AI, provides a detailed approach to managing risks associated with AI, adhering to regulatory requirements, and maintaining ethical standards, all while leveraging AI technologies.
This paper, drafted by the CSA's AI Regulatory Responsibilities Working Group, builds on the founding document Regulatory Responsibilities for AI – Core Security Responsibilities – which focuses on data security, model security and vulnerability management – and provides a comprehensive framework for integrating AI within organizational structures with a focus on On governance, risk management and cultural aspects.
“The true potential of AI can only be realized when governance, risk management, and culture are integrated into its deployment. These elements ensure responsible innovation, mitigate unintended consequences, and foster an AI ecosystem that is not only efficient, but also ethical and inclusive,” said Ken Huang. “We hope that the framework set out in this paper will guide organizations toward developing and deploying AI responsibly and safely,” said Co-Chair of the AI Regulatory Responsibilities Working Group and lead author of the study.
Organized into four key areas of responsibility – risk management, governance and compliance, safety culture and training, and preventing shadow AI – each section is further analyzed across six overarching areas of interest to ensure organizations can comprehensively assess, implement and manage their AI initiatives while addressing Key aspects such as accountability, implementation strategies, monitoring, access control and regulatory compliance.
Future papers in the series will address additional AI challenges as organizations adopt and implement AI applications, supply chain safety, and misuse mitigation.
