MAGRS Governance Starter Kit

The MAGRS Governance Starter Kit is a structured implementation package provided to organizations that apply to participate in the Marshall AI Governance Readiness Standard (MAGRS).

It is not a public download. It is issued to applicants as part of the onboarding process.

Purpose

The Starter Kit establishes the foundational controls required for responsible AI use, including visibility into system activity, defined operational boundaries, and explicit human accountability.

It is designed to move organizations from informal AI usage to controlled, governed operation.

The Marshall Principle

Artificial intelligence may assist human decision-making, but responsibility always remains with humans.

Core Implementation Areas

• Visibility: Identify where AI systems are used and how they influence work
• Boundaries: Define acceptable and restricted uses of AI within the organization
• Accountability: Assign responsibility for all AI-assisted outcomes

Required Leadership Actions

• Establish clear acknowledgment of AI use within the organization
• Require transparency in AI-assisted workflows
• Ensure human review of AI-generated outputs before use
• Maintain defined ownership of AI-assisted decisions

Operational Discipline

Organizations implementing the Starter Kit perform periodic governance reviews, including quarterly evaluation of AI usage, boundary adherence, and accountability assignments.

Participation Requirement

The Starter Kit is provided exclusively to organizations that apply to participate in MAGRS.
