The CSA AI Control Framework Working Group’s goal is to define a framework of control objectives to support organizations in their secure and responsible development, management, and use of AI technologies. The framework will assist in evaluating risks and defining controls related to Generative AI (GenAI). The control objectives will cover aspects related to cybersecurity. Additionally, it will cover aspects related to safety, privacy, transparency, accountability, and explainability as far as they relate to cybersecurity.
