Technical documentation, model cards and instructions for use

Which legal duties does it serve?

Satisfies means the control, operated properly, does the work the duty asks for. Supports means it contributes but the duty needs more. The official text decides; open it before relying on either.

What evidence shows it is operating?

Owner: Product or model owner. Frequency: at launch and on material change.

Which risks does it address?

Subdomains of the MIT AI Risk Repository, with the incidents the AI Incident Database has recorded under each. Counts are live; they say how often a risk has materialised, not how well this control prevents it.

• 7.4 Lack of transparency or interpretability AI system safety, failures, & limitations5 incidents · 42 risk entries
• 5.1 Overreliance and unsafe use Human-Computer Interaction38 incidents · 60 risk entries
• 7.3 Lack of capability or robustness AI system safety, failures, & limitations305 incidents · 126 risk entries

Which standards clauses does it correspond to?

Clause numbers only. A reference means the standard asks for overlapping work, so evidence may be reusable; it never means the standard discharges a legal duty.
