AI Governance & Ethics

What is Model Governance?

Model Governance establishes policies, processes, and controls for managing machine learning models throughout their lifecycle. It ensures compliance, auditability, risk management, and accountability through documentation, approval workflows, monitoring, and stakeholder oversight.

This glossary term is currently being developed. Detailed content covering implementation strategies, best practices, and operational considerations will be added soon. For immediate assistance with AI implementation and operations, please contact Pertama Partners for advisory services.

Why It Matters for Business

Related Terms
AI Bias

AI Bias is the systematic and unfair discrimination in AI system outputs that arises from prejudiced assumptions in training data, algorithm design, or deployment context. It can lead to inequitable treatment of individuals or groups based on characteristics like race, gender, age, or socioeconomic status, creating legal, ethical, and business risks.

Explainable AI

Explainable AI is the set of methods and techniques that make the outputs and decision-making processes of artificial intelligence systems understandable to humans. It enables stakeholders to comprehend why an AI system reached a particular conclusion, supporting trust, accountability, regulatory compliance, and informed business decision-making.

AI Transparency

AI Transparency is the principle and practice of openly communicating how artificial intelligence systems work, what data they use, how decisions are made, and what limitations they have. It encompasses both technical transparency about model behaviour and organisational transparency about AI policies, practices, and impacts.

AI Liability

AI Liability is the legal framework and principles determining who is responsible when an artificial intelligence system causes harm, financial loss, or damage. It addresses questions of fault, accountability, and compensation across the chain of AI development, deployment, and operation.

Automated Decision-Making

Automated Decision-Making is the use of artificial intelligence and algorithmic systems to make decisions that affect individuals or organisations with limited or no human intervention. These decisions can range from routine operational choices to high-stakes determinations about credit, employment, insurance, and access to services.
