| File Reference : | RA-BR12 Use of Artificial Intelligence |
This is something many companies are currently being asked about by trading partners: - Can you confirm you have reviewed the risks associated with AI use?
- Yes, we've fully risk-assessed it!
This example risk assessment has been prepared using the
F-Q36 General Risk Assessment form template - a purpose-built template designed to focus entirely on what matters: identifying business risks, assessing their likelihood and impact, and recording the controls that manage them, without any unnecessary fields getting in the way.
The file is supplied in fully editable MS Word format and can be easily customised and saved to Google Docs format if required. The document uses pre-defined style formatting throughout with styles to match the risk-ratings which are input using select boxes pre-populated with all possible risk ratings. All text is in Calibri font for improved readability.
The following document labelling is included in the footer:
- Form number and title
- Information-classification
- Version
- Page number / total pages

Use of Artificial Intelligence Business Risk Assessment
This fully completed artificial intelligence business risk assessment example has been prepared by experienced ISO management system consultants. It covers the risks that arise from using AI tools and systems, including confidential and personal data in AI tools, inaccurate or biased outputs, unapproved AI use, intellectual property, security and over-reliance. It can be used as a starting point when developing your own business risk assessment documentation.
What Does This Use of Artificial Intelligence Business Risk Assessment Cover?
This risk assessment identifies the key artificial intelligence risks an organisation faces, including:
- Confidential and personal data in AI tools
- Inaccurate or misleading outputs
- Bias and unfair outcomes
- Unapproved and shadow AI use
- Intellectual property and copyright
- Security of AI tools and integrations
- Transparency and disclosure
- Over-reliance and loss of competence
- Legal, regulatory and accountability
A residual risk rating is then assigned to each risk, demonstrating how effective controls - such as clear acceptable-use rules, checking AI outputs, protecting confidential and personal data, human oversight and staff training - reduce the overall risk to a tolerable level.
A Professional Easy-to-Use Risk Assessment Template
This document uses colour-coded header styles matched to risk ratings, making it quick to read and easy to communicate during team briefings and staff training. A built-in risk rating matrix supports consistent evaluation of likelihood and consequence, and clear risk symbols help communicate each risk at a glance. An inherent and a residual rating are recorded for every risk, so the effect of your controls is easy to demonstrate.
Risk, Control and Prohibition Symbols
Each row in the assessment is tagged with a small symbol so the type of risk, the control that manages it and any prohibition are clear at a glance. The same icon set runs across every alphaZ business risk assessment, which keeps a finished document quick to read and easy to compare. You can read more about them in our blog post on the alphaZ business risk icons.
Who Is This Use of Artificial Intelligence Business Risk Assessment Template Suitable For?
This template is suitable for organisations of any size adopting AI tools and systems that need to assess and document the associated risks. It is useful when implementing or maintaining an AI management system aligned with ISO 42001, alongside information security and data protection controls, and when supporting the risks and opportunities requirements (clause 6.1) of ISO management system standards. Directors, IT leads and management system managers can all use it as a practical, ready-made starting point.
