This page accompanies the German section § 14. Verwaltungsordnung und Regulierungsordnung algorithmischer Systeme. Administrative order refers to internal governance: development, documentation, risk assessment, monitoring, incident response, role allocation, release procedures, and internal control. Regulatory order refers to external law, oversight, standards, certification, audit, reporting duties, and complaint channels.

The section treats AI governance as a relation between organization and public control. Current frameworks such as the EU AI Act, the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, and ISO/IEC 42001 make this visible: they translate AI risk into documentation, management, oversight, and accountability requirements.

The central conflict remains the tension between trade secrecy and public scrutiny. Audit and certification can help, but only if inspectors have meaningful access, independence, and enforceable consequences. This prepares the transition to organizational carriers in § 15 and power in § 16.
