Australia National Framework for the Assurance of AI in Government (2024) C.3: C.3 Risk-based approach cornerstone: assess case by case across the lifecycle

Assess and manage each AI use case on its own merits, so that high-risk settings get safe and responsible handling while lower-risk settings carry minimal burden, using self-assessment models where helpful. Manage risk across the whole AI system lifecycle (design, data and models; verification and validation; deployment; operation and monitoring), with reviews at each phase transition and re-evaluation after significant change. During development prioritise traceability of datasets, processes and decisions according to potential harm; set up monitoring and feedback loops for emerging risks, unintended consequences and performance issues; plan for obsolete and legacy AI systems; and consider oversight mechanisms for high-risk settings, such as internal or external review bodies, advisory bodies or AI risk committees.
