San Jose AI Governance Handbook
A comprehensive guide to help government agencies establish, implement, and oversee responsible artificial intelligence (AI) governance policies and review processes.
The AI Governance Handbook (2025) provides a model framework for public agencies to manage AI use throughout its lifecycle—from procurement and risk assessment to monitoring and public engagement.
It includes detailed templates for defining roles and responsibilities, conducting AI reviews, assessing algorithmic impact, and managing Requests for Proposals in compliance with the NIST AI Risk Management Framework. Designed as a practical tool for civic practitioners, it emphasizes transparency, accountability, accessibility, and continuous oversight of AI systems in government.
