COM-019 is an informative practitioner role guide. It does not create, amend or replace GAISSF™ requirements, UAIF™ classification rules, AI-IRF™ response requirements, PAI-SF™ controls, controlled assessment methodology, law, regulation, functional safety, product-safety requirements or organizational decision authority. The accountable system owner is treated as the coordinator of the system’s operating basis—not as the owner of every specialist control or authority.
