SDAIA launches national framework to manage AI risks as a guidance reference
- SDAIA launched a national framework to provide a unified methodology for identifying, assessing, treating and monitoring AI risks to enable safe and responsible adoption by public and private entities.
- The framework responds to rapid expansion in AI adoption and notes AI risks differ from traditional software risks: they can appear unexpectedly, change over time, and be hard to interpret or reproduce.
- Risk management follows an integrated lifecycle of four interconnected phases—define context and scope, identify risks, assess and treat them, then monitor and review—with risk level calculated via a matrix linking likelihood and impact.
- The framework is based on seven principles (integrity and fairness; privacy and security; humanity; reliability and safety; transparency and explainability; accountability and responsibility; social and environmental benefits), classifies AI risks into seven main types, and includes an applied scenario simulating a government entity using a model for internal reporting.
