Establishing governance practices. [General Forum on Oversight of
Artificial Intelligence] participants provided various examples of
governance practices […] Participants also noted the importance of
establishing an oversight and ethics committee involving
multidisciplinary stakeholders, both internal and external to the entity,
throughout an AI system’s development to ensure that societal concerns
are considered. Some organizations represented on the panel have
established committees as a method to address potential societal
concerns. According to participants, these committees should include
stakeholders from across the entity—legal, policymakers, developers, as
well as top executives from all divisions—to ensure appropriate
development, deployment, and application of the AI system.
