A short tour of the pieces that make this innovation work.
Structured canvas for examining a proposed AI application against affected people, data, decisions, risks, and accountability.
A standardized record describing a model through its organizational life — purpose, ownership, data, limitations, oversight.
Six questions to ask before adopting an external AI service — and how to score the answers.
A simplified lineage from data source to model output, showing what traceability looks like in practice.
A portfolio view of every AI system, its risk tier, and its outstanding reviews — for leadership, not engineers.
Every innovation in the Lab has a provenance — a field, an article, a demand, a programme.
African public institutions adopting AI without the operational capability to govern it.
The BSI Weekly piece that raised the question of who governs the algorithms that govern us.
The 12-week workshop where practitioners learn to build and evaluate governance mechanisms.
Five instruments, built to turn that capability into something an organization can operate on Monday morning.
Short downloadable frameworks and templates. No signup needed.
The seven questions from the AI Impact Assessment instrument, condensed into a single-page printable canvas.
The editable template from the Model Passport instrument, in Word and PDF.
The six questions from the Vendor Governance instrument, with a scoring sheet and red-flag guidance.
Innovations in the Lab are prototypes and early builds. If you want to help this one go further — as a partner, a funder, or an investor — there is a path.
Bring the Lab into your own institution. Pilot it in a live governance context and help shape the next version. Includes pilot deployment, co-development of new instruments, and access to the certificate pipeline.
Start a partnershipSponsor a cohort of learners working on the Lab's problem space. Your support is named in course materials and publications. Includes quarterly progress reviews with the team.
Fund a cohortTake an equity or revenue-share position in the venture that emerges from the Lab. Includes early access to the prototype and roadmap, and a structured investment conversation.
Discuss investmentWorking prototypes that can be adopted, adapted, funded, or invested in. Whichever you need, the next step is the same.
