The document mentions examples from healthcare, hiring, credit decisions, and agriculture but does not establish sector-specific governance.
The document addresses AI governance broadly across multiple lifecycle stages without focusing on specific technical phases. It references design principles ('Safe and Effective Systems'), deployment considerations ('use and deployment of automated systems'), and operational aspects ('Human Alternatives, Consideration, and Fallback'), indicating coverage of Plan and Design, Deploy, and Operate and Monitor stages.
The document uses the broad term 'automated systems' throughout and does not specifically define or distinguish between AI models, AI systems, or specific types of AI.
