• AI standards and requirements: Develop, maintain, and update artifacts which provide guidance on safe, responsible AI development and procurement.
• Coordination, collaboration and partnership: Work closely with other risk functions to ensure the foundational elements of AI governance are comprehensive and aligned to other risk and return programs, such as Data, Model, Third Party, Security, etc.
