## **Presentation: Establishing a Compliant AI Governance Framework**

### **Slide 1: Title Slide**

* **Title:** AI Governance & Onboarding Framework
* **Subtitle:** Ensuring Mission Alignment, Compliance, and Risk Mitigation
* **Presenter:** [Your Name/Office]
* **Date:** January 2026

---

### **Slide 2: The Federal AI Landscape**

* **The Mandate:** Executive Order 14110 and OMB M-24-10 have shifted AI from "experimental" to "regulated."
* **The Goal:** We must move from siloed, unrecorded AI projects to a centralized, transparent inventory.
* **The Risk of Inaction:** Failure to comply leads to project termination, public reporting of non-compliance, and increased liability regarding civil rights.

---

### **Slide 3: Our Governance Philosophy**

* **Centralized Oversight:** A single point of truth for all AI use cases (the Inventory).
* **Risk-Based Approach:** We don't over-regulate low-risk tools; we focus resources on "Rights-Impacting" and "Safety-Impacting" AI.
* **NIST-Aligned:** Our process follows the NIST AI Risk Management Framework (Map, Measure, Manage, Govern).

---

### **Slide 4: The 4-Gate Onboarding Workflow**

* **Gate 1: Discovery:** Intake form identifies the "Who, What, and Why."
* **Gate 2: Risk Screening:** Rapid determination of "Rights-Impacting" status.
* **Gate 3: Assessment:** Deep dive into data quality, bias, and performance metrics.
* **Gate 4: Authorization:** Formal CAIO/Board approval to deploy.

---

### **Slide 5: Defining "High-Risk" AI (OMB M-24-10)**

* **Rights-Impacting:** AI used in hiring, law enforcement, immigration, or benefit eligibility.
* **Safety-Impacting:** AI controlling critical infrastructure, emergency response, or medical triage.
* **Mandatory Requirements:** These projects *must* have an Impact Assessment and a Human-in-the-loop override.

---

### **Slide 6: Performance & Transparency**

* **The Inventory:** We will collect 15+ metadata points (ID, Technique, Stage, etc.) for annual OMB reporting.
* **Measuring Success:** We track more than just accuracy; we measure **Fairness, Robustness, and Explainability.**
* **Public Accountability:** Unless classified, our inventory will be shared on AI.gov to build public trust.

---

### **Slide 7: Strategic Next Steps**

1. **Deploy the Portal:** Launch the SharePoint/Database intake form using the proposed metadata schema.
2. **Appoint the Review Board:** Establish the cross-functional team (IT, Legal, Policy) to review high-risk cases.
3. **Audit Existing Tools:** Catalog current "shadow AI" projects into the new framework.
4. **Training:** Educate program managers on the new federal "Minimum Practices."

---

### **Slide 8: Conclusion & Call to Action**

* **Summary:** This framework isn't just a hurdle; it’s a roadmap for scaling AI safely and legally.
* **Request:** Approval to formalize this onboarding process as the standard agency SOP.
* **Questions?**

---

### **How to use this:**

* **For the CIO:** Emphasize Slide 4 (Workflow) and Slide 7 (Next Steps).
* **For Legal/General Counsel:** Emphasize Slide 5 (Risk Categories) and Slide 6 (Transparency).
* **For Program Managers:** Focus on the "Intake" process to show them exactly how to get their projects started.

# Federal AI Project Onboarding & Governance Framework (2026)

## 1. Overview & Regulatory Authority

This framework ensures our organization complies with the following federal mandates:

* **OMB Memorandum M-24-10:** Mandates the appointment of a Chief AI Officer (CAIO) and the implementation of "Minimum Practices" for AI.
* **Executive Order 14110:** Directs the safe, secure, and transparent development of AI.
* **NIST AI Risk Management Framework (RMF 1.0):** The gold standard for identifying and managing AI-specific risks.
* **GAO-21-519SP:** Provides the accountability framework for federal AI auditing and monitoring.

---

## 2. The Onboarding Workflow (The Lifecycle)

Every AI project must pass through these four "Governance Gates" to ensure compliance:

1. **Phase 1: Intake (Map):** Project teams submit a standardized intake form.
2. **Phase 2: Risk Categorization:** Teams determine if the AI is "Rights-Impacting" or "Safety-Impacting."
3. **Phase 3: Assessment (Measure):** High-risk projects complete a full Impact Assessment and technical testing.
4. **Phase 4: Authorization (Govern):** The CAIO or Governance Board grants final approval for deployment.

---

## 3. Standardized Metadata Inventory (Data Schema)

*To be collected for every project at the "Intake" phase.*

| Field Name | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **Unique ID** | Persistent ID (e.g., DEPT-2026-001) for annual reporting. |
| **Project Name/Summary** | Plain-language description of the AI’s purpose and benefit. |
| **Topic Area** | Mission area (e.g., Law Enforcement, Benefits Delivery, HR). |
| **Development Stage** | (Planned, Research, Pilot, Active, or Retired). |
| **Rights/Safety Risk** | Binary flag (Yes/No) based on the Impact Checklist. |
| **Technique Used** | (e.g., Generative AI/LLM, Computer Vision, Regression). |
| **Data Sensitivity** | Does the system process PII or Law Enforcement Sensitive data? |

---

## 4. Rights-Impacting Determination Checklist

*If any box is checked, the project is "Presumptively High-Risk" per **OMB M-24-10, Appendix I**.*

* [ ] **Civil Rights:** Affects hiring, education, voting, or law enforcement.
* [ ] **Essential Services:** Affects healthcare, housing, or public benefit eligibility.
* [ ] **Personal Safety:** Controls critical infrastructure or emergency response.
* [ ] **Biometrics:** Uses facial recognition or gait analysis in public spaces.

---

## 5. AI Impact Assessment (For High-Risk Projects)

*Required under **OMB M-24-10 Section 5(b)(ii)** before deployment.*

1. **Expected Benefit:** Quantitative or qualitative mission improvement.
2. **Risk Identification:** Specific harms to civil liberties or safety.
3. **Data Appropriateness:** Verification that training data is representative and fit-for-purpose.
4. **Fairness Testing:** Results showing no disparate impact across protected demographics.
5. **Recourse Plan:** Process for humans to appeal and override AI-generated decisions.

---

## 6. Technical Performance Metrics

*Teams must report these values annually to the Agency AI Inventory.*

* **Correctness:** Accuracy, Precision, Recall, or F1 Score.
* **Reliability:** Latency and uptime for safety-critical systems.
* **Fairness:** Disparate impact ratio or demographic parity scores.
* **Robustness:** Documented "Data Drift" scores and adversarial test results.
