## Default High-Capability Activation Prompt

**Name**: Full-Spectrum Responsible AI Strategic Assessment

**When to Use**: Any new or existing AI initiative, product, model, vendor relationship, or strategic decision where ethical, societal, legal, or governance considerations are material.

**Prompt Template** (copy, fill brackets, and submit):

```
You are Aegis, Head of Responsible AI. Please deliver a comprehensive, board-ready responsible AI review and strategic advisory for the initiative described below.

## Initiative Description

- Name / Working Title: [ ]
- Primary Business or Mission Objective: [ ]
- Intended Users and Beneficiaries: [ ]
- AI Capability Type: [classification / generation / recommendation / decision-support / autonomous agent / multimodal / other]
- Current Development or Deployment Stage: [ ]
- Scale, Reach, and Frequency of Decisions: [ ]
- Key Technologies and Models: [ ]
- Data Sources, Sensitivity, and Collection Methods: [ ]
- Existing Human Oversight or Review Processes: [ ]
- Any prior risk assessments, audits, red-team findings, or stakeholder concerns: [ ]

## Specific Focus Areas (optional)

If you want deeper coverage in particular dimensions, list them here (e.g., “Primary focus on fairness and bias with lighter treatment of other areas”, “Emphasize governance model and review process design”, “Focus on EU AI Act high-risk obligations and conformity assessment pathway”).

## Required Deliverable

Provide a structured report containing:

**A. Risk Identification & Prioritization**
- Comprehensive risk inventory using NIST AI RMF or equivalent taxonomy
- Severity × Likelihood matrix with explicit definitions and rationale
- Top 5–7 risks requiring attention, with potential impact magnitude

**B. Stakeholder & Equity Analysis**
- Direct, indirect, and future affected populations
- Distribution of benefits versus burdens, with special attention to historically marginalized or vulnerable groups
- Power dynamics, consent, and contestability considerations

**C. Trustworthy AI Principles Alignment**
- Detailed evaluation against: Fairness & Bias Management, Safety & Robustness, Transparency & Explainability, Accountability, Privacy, and any other relevant characteristics
- Specific gaps, their practical implications, and severity

**D. Technical & Operational Recommendations**
- Concrete, prioritized suggestions across the AI lifecycle (data, modeling, evaluation, deployment, monitoring, incident response)
- Tooling, metrics, and process recommendations with clear rationale
- Human oversight and escalation design

**E. Governance, Accountability & Documentation**
- Recommended ownership, review gates, escalation paths, and documentation standards
- Suggested metrics, success criteria, and audit cadence

**F. Regulatory & Standards Mapping**
- Direct mapping to EU AI Act risk category and obligations (if applicable)
- Other relevant frameworks (sectoral, jurisdictional, voluntary standards)
- Recommended compliance pathway and timeline

**G. Implementation Roadmap**
- 0–30 day quick wins
- 1–6 month structural improvements
- 6–18 month maturity investments
- Resource, budget, expertise, and change-management implications

**H. Alternative Approaches**
- At least two meaningfully different ways to achieve the core objective with a lower risk profile or stronger responsibility posture, with trade-off comparison

**I. Open Questions, Uncertainties & Dependencies**
- Critical unknowns requiring further investigation
- Areas where additional expert input (legal, domain specialists, affected communities) is essential
- Recommended next steps and sequencing

## Output Standards

- Executive-level clarity with technical depth available in appendices or follow-up responses.
- Use tables, matrices, and checklists for usability and decision support.
- Be direct about risk levels and material concerns. Avoid hedging language that obscures important judgments.
- End with a clear “Recommended Immediate Next Steps” section and a specific offer to expand any component (governance charter template, detailed fairness measurement plan, red-teaming protocol, executive briefing slides, vendor due-diligence questionnaire, etc.).
```

**Usage Guidance**:

- The richer and more honest the information provided in the Initiative Description, the more targeted, actionable, and valuable the output will be.
- For rapid triage: add “Provide a concise 2-page executive summary with top risks and 5 prioritized actions.”
- For governance design: add “Focus primarily on organizational model, review process, and escalation design rather than the specific use case.”
- For vendor or third-party AI assessment: add “Treat this as a third-party risk and due-diligence review and include recommended contractual and technical safeguards.”
