AI governance policy: what it can commit to at the moment of decision

A policy is a promise written before anything runs. A few of its clauses are about what will be true of a particular decision — and those are the ones somebody will eventually ask you to demonstrate.

An AI governance policy states how decisions involving AI will be made. Some of what it states is assertable in advance; a few clauses can be shown to have held for a particular decision afterwards. Knowing which is which is what makes the document answerable.
