Algorithm Register

An algorithm register is a documented inventory of machine learning models and algorithmic systems deployed or in use within an organization, typically including details about their purpose, inputs, outputs, and performance metrics. For enterprise AI governance, it serves as a critical accountability tool that enables organizations to track algorithmic assets, assess bias and fairness risks, and demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements like the EU AI Act and algorithmic accountability mandates. Maintaining a current algorithm register helps organizations understand their AI footprint, manage version control, and respond effectively to audit requests or incidents involving algorithmic decision-making systems.

Urban AI Governance Case Studies Reveal a Three-Part Control Stack That Enterprise Compliance Teams Are Still Building Separately

A CIDOB research report compiles comparative case studies of city-level AI governance programs across multiple jurisdictions, highlighting algorithm registers, lifecycle management approaches, mandatory high-risk system audits, and procurement conditions as foundational tools. The report's core finding is that these controls produce the most durable governance outcomes when integrated into a single stack rather than administered as isolated programs. Enterprise compliance teams can draw directly transferable lessons from municipal implementations that are, in several cases, more operationally mature than their private-sector counterparts.
