Selected AIGP Artificial Intelligence Governance Questions Answers

Third-party risk management for AI systems should beproportional and risk-based, involvinginitial due diligenceandongoing monitoringthat reflects thelevel of risk posedby the third party's AI system.

From theAI Governance in Practice Report2025:

“Third-party due diligence assessments to identify possible external risk and inform selection.” (p. 11)

“Legal due diligence may include verification of the personal data's lawful collection by the data broker, review of contractual obligations…” (p. 19)

Afocuses too narrowly on financial stability.

Cis excessive and not scalable or aligned with best practices.

Dinappropriately separates ethical and technical risks; both must be evaluated holistically.

Retraining an LLM (Large Language Model) is primarily done to improve or maintain its performance as data changes over time, to fine-tune it for specific use cases, and to incorporate new data interpretations to enhance accuracy and relevance. However, ensuring interpretability of the model's predictions is not typically a reason for retraining. Interpretability relates to how easily the outputs of the model can be understood and explained, which is generally addressed through different techniques or methods rather than through the retraining process itself. References to this can be found in the IAPP AIGP Body of Knowledge discussing model retraining and interpretability as separate concepts.

When an AI system causessignificant false positives, especially in sensitive contexts likefraud detection, the priority is tohalt harmful activityand perform a full assessment. Continued use without understanding the fault may cause furthercustomer harmand legal exposure.

From theAI Governance in Practice Report2025:

“Incident management plans should enable identification, escalation, and system rollback to prevent continued harm from malfunctioning AI systems.” (p. 12, 35)

Performing an impact assessment is the best step to mitigate the possibility of discrimination before training and testing the AI solution. An impact assessment, such as a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) or Algorithmic Impact Assessment (AIA), helps identify potential biases and discriminatory outcomes that could arise from the AI system. This process involves evaluating the data and the algorithm for fairness, accountability, and transparency. It ensures that any biases in the data are detected and addressed, thus preventing discriminatory practices and promoting ethical AI deployment.
