AAISM directs organizations to embed security, safety, and compliance controls at design time (“secure-by-design” and “shift-left”), ensuring requirements for robustness, privacy, and governance are defined as non-functional constraints on architecture, data sourcing, model choices, and evaluation criteria before any model is trained. Deferring these requirements to training, testing, or deployment increases residual risk and rework, and weakens traceability of control coverage.
