AIASC 820: AI System Fair Value Measurement

Purpose and Scope:

This document offers guidelines for measuring and disclosing fair value specifically for assets and liabilities related to AI operations. It ensures stakeholders understand the methods, inputs, and assumptions used in assessing the fair value of AI-related items.

1. Principle of Fair Value Definition:

• Define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an AI asset or paid to transfer an AI liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

2. Principle of Valuation Techniques:

• Employ valuation techniques that are appropriate for AI operations and have sufficient data available, such as market, income, or cost approaches.

3. Principle of Highest and Best Use:

• Consider the highest and best use of AI assets, recognizing the potential utility and value in various applications.

4. Principle of Disclosure:

• Transparently disclose the valuation techniques, inputs, assumptions, and any significant judgments related to the fair value measurement of AI assets and liabilities.

5. Principle of Level Hierarchies:

• Classify the inputs to valuation techniques into three levels, detailing observable and unobservable inputs, and their significance in AI fair value measurements.

6. Principle of Non-financial Assets:

• Address the specific challenges and considerations in measuring the fair value of non-financial AI assets, such as proprietary algorithms or AI-trained models.

7. Principle of Recurring vs. Non-recurring Measurements:

• Differentiate between items in AI operations that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis versus those measured on a non-recurring basis.

8. Principle of Fair Value Disclosures:

• Detail the required disclosures to provide users with information about the reliability of the fair value measurements related to AI operations.

Updates and Amendments:The AIASC 820 guidelines will be periodically reviewed and updated to reflect advancements in AI technology, evolving practices in AI fair value measurement, and feedback from stakeholders and the public.

Note: This is a fictional representation and does not represent any real-world standard for AI. The development of such standards would involve extensive consultations with experts, stakeholders, and the public. Fictional representations simplify complex AI concepts, stimulate discussion, envision future scenarios, highlight ethical considerations, encourage creativity, bridge knowledge gaps, and set benchmarks for debate in fields like accounting.
