With such large-scale deployment, failures or bias in AI systems can affect millions and undermine public trust. Recent regulations \u2013 the Data Protection and Digital Privacy (DPDP) Act and stringent CERT-In cybersecurity rules \u2013 have raised expectations for privacy and security by design.

High-risk AI &#8211; such as credit scoring, hiring tools, and critical infrastructure &#8211; require stricter controls and oversight. Core design principles include privacy-by-design, security-by-design, transparency, fairness, and accountability, embedding DPDP and CERT-In requirements throughout the AI lifecycle.<\/p>\n<p>The framework aligns with international standards like ISO 42001, ISO\/IEC 23894, and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, facilitating interoperability and third-party assurance.<\/p>\n<p>Structurally, it mandates clear governance roles. Boards or apex committees set AI risk appetite, while an AI Risk and Ethics Committee (AIREC) oversees inventories, risk classifications, and approvals for high-risk systems. Operational roles (data stewards, model owners) ensure traceability, creating a four-tier governance model spanning leadership, committees, officers, and technical teams.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d252e6f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d252e6f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Core Components<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-102a066 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"102a066\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul>\n<li><strong>Risk Classification:<\/strong> Prohibited and high-risk AI require extensive safeguards, while medium- and low-risk systems have lighter controls.<\/li>\n<li><strong>AI System Inventory:<\/strong> All AI applications &#8211; including third-party and \u201cshadow\u201d systems &#8211; must be logged in a central registry, with metadata on ownership, lineage, and risk level.
