Council asks data governance to 'guarantee AI is safe' while the city still lacks a data inventory and quality baselines. What scoping response is appropriate?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
You cannot swear an AI is 'safe' when you do not even know what data feeds it or whether that data is junk. Inventory, quality, and purpose come first—then responsible AI has something solid to stand on. Foundations before guarantees.
Full Explanation
Responsible AI governance inherits information management prerequisites: knowing data sources (inventory), fitness for use (quality baselines), and allowed purposes. Guarantees without those foundations are empty. Ignoring AI or delegating ethics solely to an unmonitored chatbot also fails civic duty. DG should sequence foundational controls and then layer model-use policies, oversight, and risk assessment on top.
