Transparent Information Flow Modeling for Role-Aware AI Act Assessment

We explore the use of the Information Flow Methodology (IFM), a modeling-based approach to AI Act compliance assessment.

Key points

  • The European Union's Artificial Intelligence Act introduces a structured framework for governing high-risk AI systems, emphasizing transparency, risk management, and role-specific accountability.
  • IFM represents decision systems -- whether algorithmic, human, or hybrid -- as networks of information sites and transformation channels, enabling structured analysis of how information, decisions, and responsibilities flow across organizational and technical boundaries.
  • Our results demonstrate that IFM can serve as a scaffold to bridge both component-based and holistic perspectives, and how technical systems are situated within socio-technical contexts.
  • We argue that such modeling provides a foundational tool for effective, context-sensitive AI governance and accountability -- offering capabilities beyond conventional checklist-based assessments.
