AI Role Ownership & Accountability Matrix

What this guide is for

A practical business resource designed to help organisations think clearly about who is responsible for AI-related activities, decisions, reviews and oversight. Introducing AI into a business is not simply about choosing tools — businesses also need clarity around responsibility, ownership, approval and human oversight. Where included, this may help you identify AI-related roles, clarify responsibilities, assign ownership, reduce uncertainty over who handles particular AI activities, define appropriate human oversight, establish review responsibilities, consider accountability for AI-assisted work, integrate AI responsibilities into existing workflows and support clearer internal governance. Assigning tasks to AI does not remove human responsibility — outputs may still require review, verification and appropriate approval. Be careful when confidential, personal or commercially sensitive information is involved with third-party AI tools. This is a practical guidance resource — it does not provide legal advice, automated governance software, regulatory certification or guaranteed compliance.

This is a standalone digital PDF guide from the AI for Business collection.
