AI Governance and Review

If you are planning to use AI in a new workflow, service, or institutional process, UNT System provides a review pathway to help assess the request and guide next steps. Reviews are designed to support responsible adoption of AI by considering factors such as data use, compliance obligations, privacy, accessibility, security, and institutional impact.

Depending on the nature of the request, it may move through a Lite Review or a Comprehensive Review and may be resolved through guidance, committee review, or an enterprise governance review.
