Accountability and Traceability in AI Systems | Free Training

In this session, we will explore how accountability and traceability function within AI governance frameworks such as ISO/IEC 42001, the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, and the European Union’s AI Act. We will discuss practical mechanisms such as audit trails, role assignment, data lineage, and documentation processes that make these principles operational.

The course is structured into five sections: first, we will introduce the foundations of accountability and traceability. Then, we will examine how international standards and frameworks define these concepts. Next, we will explore mechanisms that organizations can adopt to ensure accountability and traceability across the AI lifecycle. We will also analyze case studies where the absence of these principles resulted in failures or risks. Finally, we will conclude by summarizing benefits, emerging challenges, and actions you can take to strengthen accountability and traceability in your own organization.

By the end of this course, you will have a solid understanding of these two governance pillars, why they matter, and how to apply them to ensure safe, responsible, and compliant AI.
