The AI Regulatory Capability Framework and Self-Assessment Tool

The AI Regulatory Capability Framework and Self-Assessment Tool are resources for regulatory organisations and related decision makers to understand capability requirements for regulating AI, to evaluate existing capability, and to support constructive and precise conversations about how to address capability gaps.

The Framework and Tool offer a common basis for analysing AI regulatory capability in relation to the different stages and activities throughout the regulatory lifecycle. The Framework provides a reference point for using the AI Regulatory Capability Self-Assessment Tool.

There are three optional levels of assessment, increasing in detail, designed to support different user needs. The (1) Summary Assessment can be used to provide a high-level overview of an organisation’s capability, while the (2) Regulatory Stage Assessment and (3) Regulatory Activity Assessment can be used to hone in on areas of relevance or concern. Different self-assessment levels will be suited to different roles and responsibilities within the regulatory organisation.

The report establishes the conceptual foundations of AI regulatory capability, the background and motivations for the AI Regulatory Capability Framework and Self-Assessment Tool, instructions for their use, and the full repository of resources in PDF format. 

The excel workbook contains instructions and editable resources, and should be used to complete a self-assessment.
