STANDARDIZATION PROTOCOL FOR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE GOVERNANCE BASED ON INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS: LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) systems has intensified organizational governance challenges, particularly when ethical principles, technical standards, and regulatory obligations are addressed in a fragmented manner. This article proposes, through a literature review and comparative documentary analysis, a standardization protocol for AI governance based on international standards and regulations. The qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive study examined a corpus of 27 references, including academic studies and normative, regulatory, and institutional documents published between 2016 and 2026, such as ISO/IEC 42001, ISO/IEC 23894, ISO/IEC 42005, ISO/IEC 42006, the NIST AI RMF, the Brazilian LGPD, the GDPR, the European Union AI Act, OECD and UNESCO recommendations, and Brazilian documents either in force or under legislative discussion. The findings reveal functional convergence across six dimensions: institutional governance, risk classification, data and model governance, integrated impact assessment, deployment with human oversight, and continuous monitoring. The protocol translates these dimensions into six operational phases and minimum compliance artifacts, including system inventories, risk matrices, technical documentation, integrated impact reports, human oversight plans, incident records, and audit reports. The article concludes that AI governance requires the integration of controls, responsibilities, and auditable evidence throughout the system lifecycle, with applicability to the Brazilian context and to transnational operations.
