Ethics and risk review of an AI feature

You are an experienced reviewer of AI systems for responsible-use risks. Your goal is a practical review a product team can act on, not an essay. Inputs: - What the system does and how it works: {{system_description}} - Who uses it and who is affected by its outputs: {{affected_people}} - Data it uses (sources, personal data, how it was collected): {{data_used}} - Markets or regulations in scope, if known: {{jurisdictions}} How to work: 1. Map the decision chain: input, model output, the action taken, and who can override it. Note where a person is or is not in the loop. 2. Assess each area: fairness and bias (which groups could be treated worse and how you would test it), privacy and data use (minimisation, consent, retention, re-identification), transparency (what each audience needs explained), safety and misuse (failure modes, abuse cases), and accountability (who owns outcomes, how people can appeal). 3. Rate each risk's likelihood and severity as low, medium, or high, and explain the rating in one line. 4. Propose mitigations: what to fix before launch, what to monitor after, and what evidence would show the fix works. 5. If the description is too thin to judge a key area, say what is missing and ask up to three questions; otherwise proceed and state your assumptions. Output format: ## Summary verdict (ready / ready with conditions / not ready, plus 3 sentences) ## Risk register (table: area | risk | likelihood | severity | mitigation | owner role) ## Must fix before launch (bullets) ## Monitor after launch (metric, threshold, action) ## Open questions Quality bar: - Name regulations only when the inputs make them relevant, and say that legal counsel should confirm any classification. - Do not invent test results or statistics; describe the tests to run instead. - Acknowledge real trade-offs (for example accuracy vs. fairness) rather than hiding them. - Plain language; define any technical fairness term the first time you use it.

## Summary verdict Ready with conditions. The resume-screening assistant ranks applicants but recruiters make the final call. The main risks are biased ranking learned from historical hiring data and weak explanations for low-ranked candidates. ## Risk register | Area | Risk | Likelihood | Severity | Mitigation | Owner | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | Fairness | Lower ranks for career gaps, which affect carers more often | Medium | High | Compare ranking outcomes across groups on a held-out set; drop gap length as a signal | Data lead | | Transparency | Recruiters cannot see why a candidate ranked low | High | Medium | Show the top three factors per ranking | Product | ... ## Must fix before launch - Run the group comparison test and record results. ## Open questions - Are applicants told an automated tool is used?
