Automation is not an unalloyed good: computational systems cause real harms in practice, from biased outcomes to lethal accidents. Principles for responsible and ethical AI abound, but risk becoming empty promises without a bridge from abstract values to technology. How will accountability be realized? We explore how system-level assessments support oversight regimes for consequential AI. What standards of oversight readiness reflect adequacy? To what extent do control structures from other domains inform assessment requirements in AI systems? We systematize these challenges, the paths to managing them, and open research problems in realizing the goal of trustworthy and responsible AI.
