A free AI risk assessment for one idea

Four short steps about one job you want AI to do. Your answers stay in this browser tab, and you don't need to give any contact details.

It's free and takes about five minutes.

Step 1 of 4: The job

  1. The job
  2. The information
  3. What you have
  4. Running it

The job

One job, in a few words. Leave out names and anything confidential.

How often does the job come up?

A job that comes up rarely seldom pays back the setup.

What is an AI risk assessment?

An AI risk assessment looks at one use of AI before it starts: what information goes in, who can see the results, where the data goes and who checks the output. This check does that for one job and adds which route to test first and whether to plan for a data protection impact assessment (DPIA).

What does the check ask?

  1. 1

    The job: what you want AI to do, who does it now and how often it comes up.

  2. 2

    The information: what goes in, who may see it, whether it can go to an outside AI service and where it may be processed.

  3. 3

    What you have: your email and files, and whether anyone has tried the AI features you already pay for.

  4. 4

    Running it: who looks after it once it's live, and who checks its work.

It doesn't rank suppliers, judge anyone's security or look at any product. It never asks for company names or documents.

How the check works

One job, letting staff search internal documents, taken through the same four steps.
