3.4 Draft a high level institutional checklist
Explore how senior leaders can translate accessibility, ethics, and legal compliance into a practical governance instrument for AI-related initiatives. This unit examines how a high-level institutional checklist can reduce fragmented adoption, clarify accountability, and ensure that higher-risk uses—particularly in areas such as admissions, evaluation, and digital student services—receive appropriate scrutiny under the EU’s risk-based regulatory framework, while embedding accessibility and data protection as standing institutional requirements.

Think of one AI enabled initiative that is either already used at your institution or actively being considered, such as an admissions support tool, an assessment related system, an analytics dashboard for student retention, or a student services chatbot. Draft a one page leadership checklist that your institution would require before approving the initiative for wider rollout. Your draft should make three things clear. First, what the system will be used for and whether it touches any education related high risk areas under Annex III. Second, who is accountable for compliance and ongoing monitoring, including how users can request human review and how issues will be escalated. Third, what evidence would be required from the supplier or project team on transparency to users, handling of personal data, accessibility, and performance monitoring over time. Aim for a concise, usable document that a leadership team could apply consistently across faculties. Write 200 to 300 words.
