GOVERN AI / GV-04

Accountability Embedded

0.40Adaptability average

Embedded accountability integrates human ownership for AI outcomes directly into roles and governance structures. KPMG insists that a specific individual or body always be answerable for an AI-driven decision, moving past abstract corporate responsibility toward a model where accountability is clearly defined and enforceable, often through RACI matrices and explicit escalation paths. By assigning these duties, an organisation maintains meaningful human control and ensures the consequences of automated systems are managed with transparency and personal responsibility rather than diffused across the enterprise.
