my process view of the EC's Ethics by Design guidance for AI

Can the guidance on Ethics by Design and Ethics of Use Approaches for Artificial Intelligence by the European Commission ensure compliance with ethics principles and ethical requirements ?

Ethical Principles and Requirements as per EC guidance
for designing, developing, and deploying and/or using AI based solutions: There are six general ethical principles that any AI system must preserve and protect based on fundamental rights as enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (EU Charter), and in relevant international human rights law:
1. Respect for Human Agency: autonomy, dignity & freedom
2. Privacy, personal data protection and Data governance
3. Fairness
4. Individual, Social and Environmental Well-being
5. Transparency
6. Accountability and Oversight

Do we need a governance model stipulating who should or must do the evaluation and assessment of compliance to ethics principles and ethical requirements of an AI system as e.g. managed by a data protection officer and supervised by a public data protection & information Commissioner's office ?

Nvidia's AI layered ecosystem cake

Nvidia's five-layer AI cake explains the industrial architecture for producing intelligence. The Event-driven SIPOC Action Architecture explains how that intelligence is transformed into governed human and AI actions, measurable outcomes and sustainable economic and societal value. I am thus proposing a further top layer representing enterprise value realization,

Universal Event-driven SIPOC Action Architecture

My objective was to provide one universal, intuitive and stakeholder-oriented Action Architecture for understanding, designing, governing and executing value-creating activities across the enterprise, from business modeling to autonomous AI operations. The architecture consists of five interconnected layers, each using the same Event-driven SIPOC methodology, with explicit objectives, trigger events, process

Integrated Quality Management within GRC: A Foundation for Responsible Agentic AI

Governance defines what should be achieved. Risk Management determines what could go wrong. Compliance establishes what must be respected. Quality Management ensures that processes and their outcomes consistently fulfill requirements & intended objectives. Together, they establish an integrated management system for responsible human & AI-driven enterprise operations. Event-driven SIPOC model

AI Literacy: The 5-stage event-driven AI Operating & Control model

My objective is for AI users to understand: how information becomes AI intelligence, how intelligence is used to perform tasks & how the entire journey is governed to produce reliable, safe & useful outcomes. The five-stage event-driven AI Operating & Control model follows the analogy of the Vacuum Cleaner sucking
