AI Risk Assessment for Non-Technical Leaders: A Behavioural Science Framework Module 02

MODULE 02 — Structured Risk Assessment Without Technical Expertise AI Risk Assessment for Non-Technical Leaders | Dr. Tiana Mash, PhD | IAPP AIGP You do not need a technical background to assess AI risk. This module gives you a complete, structured methodology — grounded in forensic psychology and behavioural science — that you can begin using in your organization this week. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT YOU WILL LEARN ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✔ The difference between risk AWARENESS and structured risk ASSESSMENT — and why only one of them protects your organization legally ✔ The Biopsychosocial Model applied to AI — a three-dimensional evaluation framework used in clinical and forensic practice, now applied to AI systems ✔ The 5 highest-probability AI failure categories (from 95 peer-reviewed studies) — and the observable signals that reveal each one ✔ 4 validated instruments aligned with NIST, ISO/IEC 42001, and the EU AI Act ✔ A 7-element forensic documentation standard that survives regulatory review ✔ A 5-step practicum — your first real AI risk scan, completed this week ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ TIMESTAMPS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 0:00 Introduction & What You Will Walk Away With 2:00 Why Structured Risk Assessment Cannot Wait (EU AI Act Deadline) 5:00 Lesson 2.1 — Risk Awareness vs. Structured Risk Assessment 10:00 The Four-Stage Risk Assessment Process 13:30 Lesson 2.2 — The Biopsychosocial Model Applied to AI 20:00 Lesson 2.3 — The 5 High-Probability Failure Categories 24:30 Lesson 2.4 — Validated Instruments (NIST, ISO, EU AI Act FRIA) 28:30 Lesson 2.5 — Documenting Risk at a Forensic Standard 33:00 Lesson 2.6 — Practicum: Your First AI Risk Scan 38:30 References & Outro ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHY THIS MATTERS RIGHT NOW ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The EU AI Act deadline for high-risk AI systems is August 2, 2026. Non-compliance carries fines of up to 7% of global annual revenue. 46% of corporate leaders say governance barriers are the #1 cause of AI failure — yet most organizations are still doing risk AWARENESS, not risk ASSESSMENT. This module closes that gap. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ SOURCES & SCHOLARLY REFERENCES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Wirtz et al.
