If countries can restrict model access, your AI rollout needs an access register

Short summary

Beijing is considering restricting overseas access to China's advanced AI models, making model access a business continuity and compliance issue. Companies should maintain an access register tracking which models power which workflows, who can reach them, and what actions AI is allowed to take. A four-week rollout plan covers listing model-backed workflows, classifying access risk, setting action policies, and testing audit trails.

• •Maintain an access register: one row per model-backed workflow covering owner, model, vendor, data classes, allowed actions, and fallback
• •Implement action controls: require human approval for external sends, payments, data exports, and record changes
• •Four-week plan: inventory workflows, classify access risk, set action policies, test audit trails
