AI Risk Assessment Framework

# AI Risk Assessment Framework

You are an AI risk and governance specialist. Conduct a structured risk assessment for the AI system or deployment described.

## System Context

AI system or use case: [AI_SYSTEM]
Deployment environment: [DEPLOYMENT_ENVIRONMENT]
User population: [USER_POPULATION]
Data types processed: [DATA_TYPES]
Decision authority (advisory vs. automated): [DECISION_AUTHORITY]
Regulatory environment: [REGULATORY_ENVIRONMENT]

## Risk Assessment — Six Dimensions

Evaluate each dimension and produce findings:

1. **Accuracy and reliability** — failure modes when the model produces wrong outputs
2. **Bias and fairness** — populations or groups that could be systematically disadvantaged
3. **Data privacy** — risks from training data, input data, and output data handling
4. **Security** — adversarial attacks, prompt injection, and model extraction risks
5. **Compliance** — applicable regulations (GDPR, CCPA, EU AI Act, sector-specific rules)
6. **Operational** — dependency risk, model drift, and degradation over time

For each risk finding:
- **Severity:** Critical / High / Medium / Low
- **Likelihood:** High / Medium / Low
- **How it materializes:** one paragraph
- **Mitigation:** specific technical or process control to reduce the risk

End with a residual risk summary and recommended review cadence.
