Govern deployer use against provider instructions, input-data requirements, monitoring, human oversight and escalation.
Related risks
Ineffective Human Oversight of AI

Improper High-Risk AI Deployment
A deployer may operate high-risk AI contrary to provider instructions, without qualified oversight, suitable inputs or required monitoring.
