AAISM governance practices identify ownership and accountability as the most critical element in any centralized AI inventory. An AI inventory provides oversight by cataloging all AI assets within an organization, and assigning responsibility ensures that each system has clear governance, monitoring, and compliance coverage. While use cases, training data, and registries are valuable metadata, they do not guarantee accountability. Without defined ownership, no party is responsible for addressing risk, bias, or incidents. Therefore, the most important information to include is ownership and accountability details for each AI system.
