The degree to which the system is traceable, auditable, transparent, and explainable is dependent on the context and purpose of the AI system and the severity of the outcomes that may result from the technology.

Decisions should be traceable.

1 The data sets and the processes that yield the AI system’s decision should be documented to the best possible standard to allow for traceability and an increase in transparency.

3 If the AI system is built by a third party, AI system owners should make sure that an AI Ethics due diligence is carried out and all the documentation are accessible and traceable before procurement or sign off.
