IOGP’s Principles for Responsible Use of AI with Guidelines for Implementation

CATEGORIES

RISK-BASED PROCESS SAFETY ELEMENTS

Research Summary

This IOGP report is the most directly process-industry-specific AI governance item. It provides principles and implementation guidance for responsible AI use in oil, gas, and broader energy operations, addressing decision transparency, regulatory compliance, operational safety, and governance. Its relevance to PSM is unusually strong because the guidance is written for high-hazard operating environments where AI may support or influence operational decisions, risk assessment, maintenance, inspection, incident learning, and compliance workflows. For a PSM audience, it offers a bridge between generic responsible-AI language and the practical controls needed before deploying AI in safety-critical industrial settings, including management accountability, human oversight, traceability, and risk-based implementation.
