Description
The guidance sets out six essential practices for responsible artificial intelligence (AI) governance and adoption. There are two versions of the guidance:

- build public confidence in adopting AI
- set up a roadmap for navigating a complex governance landscape.
Essential practices
- Decide who is accountable
- Understand impacts and plan accordingly
- Measure and manage risks

- Maintain human control.
The guidance is accompanied by a policy guide and template, an AI screening tool and systems register template.
