T19. Algorithm use case design

Navigation: AIGA AI Governance Lifecycle > B. Algorithms > T19. Algorithm use case design (this page)

Task description

Understanding the intended uses of an algorithm together with its possible misuses is key to sustainable AI development and use.

For each algorithm in its Algorithm Repository, the organization should define and document, to the extent possible,
1)    the intended uses of the algorithm and
2)    the possible foreseeable misuses of the algorithm, if relevant.

The use case definition should guide the development processes and build on the risk and impact pre-design and assessment outcomes.
The AI System Owner should ensure that the intended use case aligns with the organization’s values and risk tolerance. The AI System Owner should ensure that the organization takes adequate measures to prevent inappropriate algorithm misuse.
