Request an AI use case · SN Doc Reader

Request the development or procurement of an AI system to initiate and document the need for an AI-driven solution within an organization.

Before you begin

To classify AI systems using a risk-based approach at intake, a teammate with the AI Risk and Compliance Admin [sn_grc_ai_gov.ai_risk_and_compliance_admin] role must complete the following.

Set the Migrate to Advanced Risk Assessments property to publish risk assessment methodologies (RAMs). For more information, see Set up Advanced Risk assessments properties.
Publish assessment templates. For more information, see Assessment templates.
Configure the sn_grc_ai_gov.ai_system_automated_risk_classification_asmt_ram property to specify a default RAM used for automated regulatory risk classification of AI systems at intake. For more information, see Set up AI Risk and Compliance properties.
Configure the sn_grc_ai_gov.aisystem_primary_ram property to specify a default RAM for AI systems. For more information, see Set up AI Risk and Compliance properties.

Note:

If these prerequisites aren't met, intake submissions are accepted but risk classification isn't performed.

Role required: sn_ai_case_mgmt.ai_case_business_user (Employee Center), sn_ai_asset_mgmt.ai_asset_owner (AI Control Tower dashboard)

About this task

If you're using the AI Risk and Compliance (AIRC) application, you submit requests through the Employee Center and related tasks such as impact assessments and review tasks (for example, legal, security, and architecture). If you're using the AI Control Tower (AICT) application, you can submit requests from the AI Control Tower dashboard and manage AI assets through AICT's inventory and life cycle experience. After you submit through the Employee Center, you land on the confirmation page. The here link in the confirmation message and the Open in AI Control Tower link on the post-submission page open the corresponding record in AI Control Tower instead of the legacy AI Control Tower workspace. The AI system record header also displays the system name and identifier.

For more information about the end-to-end life cycle, see AI governance life cycle. For an overview of AI Risk and Compliance setup and configuration, see Configuring AI Risk and Compliance.

The Request an AI system feature enables you to initiate requests for the development or procurement of AI-based solutions. Whether you need a custom AI model, an automation tool, or an advanced analytics system, the platform captures key requirements and facilitates approvals.

For example, a financial institution wants to improve its loan approval process by implementing an AI-based credit scoring system. The finance team submits an AI request detailing requirements such as risk assessment considerations, credit data analysis, and automated decision-making. The request is reviewed for feasibility, budget, and compliance before development or procurement proceeds.

Request an AI system from the Employee Center or from the AI Control Tower dashboard.
