# 6.4.2.2 Identification of assets and their value

The organization should identify the assets an AI system involves or affects and their value: assets of value to the organization, assets of value to individuals and assets of value to society, so that the harm a risk can do is judged against what is at stake for each. The step before 6.4.2.2 supplies its input, so run both together.

## What it asks

The organization should identify the assets an AI system involves or affects and their value: assets of value to the organization, assets of value to individuals and assets of value to society, so that the harm a risk can do is judged against what is at stake for each.

## Where generative AI changes the answer

The assets include the prompts, the retrieval corpus, the evaluation sets and any fine-tuned weights, none of which look like an asset in a classic register.

## Who it binds

The AI risk owner, the assessment team and the business owner of each generative AI use.

## Evidence an auditor samples

- Asset and value inventory for each AI system across organization, individuals and society

## The test you can run

Ask for one completed assessment for a live use, with its criteria, its analysis and its treatment decision.

## Common failures

- Assets valued to the organization only

## Before the draft publishes

Run the step once, by hand, on one live generative AI use, and keep the working paper. A method that has never been run on a real use is a template.

## What this page does not say

It does not state the text of ISO/IEC DTS 25568, because ISO has not published the draft's clause text. It does not certify anything.
