High-Risk AI Deployer Instructions

Provide clear, accessible instructions covering intended use, limitations, performance, oversight, maintenance and logging.

For high-risk AI providers, assign an owner to the instructions supplied with each system version. Explain intended purpose, capabilities, limitations, relevant performance information, input-data expectations, oversight, maintenance and logging in terms the deployer can use. Test whether a representative user can interpret an output and recognize a limitation. Make the instructions accessible and distribute updates with the affected release. Accessible instructions support part of an accessibility program; they do not by themselves establish that the whole system meets every applicable accessibility requirement.

Before release; with relevant version or capability changes; periodic usability and accessibility review set by the organization.

Approved, versioned instructions and distribution records Traceability to tested capabilities and known limitations User walkthrough and accessibility review findings Update notices and resolved documentation issues

Use a representative task to test whether a deployer can interpret the output, locate a limitation and follow the oversight instructions. Compare the instructions with the released system and investigate any mismatch.
