T20. Algorithm technical environment design

When operational, algorithms are typically part of AI systems. The AI system architecture and its connections to the organization’s other IT systems affect the AI system’s impacts.

The organization should
1)    define and document the position of the algorithm in the AI systems it is a part of,
2)    document and manage interactions with the organization’s other AI systems and IT systems.

The AI System Owner should ensure that the AI system’s technical environment aligns with the organization’s values and risk tolerance.
