AI Governance Professional Profiles: Risk Management

Risk profiles focus on identifying and tracking risks associated with the organization’s increased use of AI. These profiles support and challenge assessments conducted by other teams to ensure all risks are identified and escalated to governance bodies and leadership without directly owning remediation. These efforts include building risk registers and dashboards, leading mitigation and incident remediation, delivering threat intelligence on emerging AI risks and representing AI risk during audits and regulatory examinations. These roles require the ability to implement risk-assessment methodology, conduct scenario planning, communicate effectively and develop a deep familiarity with AI systems and their current and future risks.
