Enhancing AI Governance with the ai-governance-classifier Skill

#agentskills #copilotstudio #powerfuldevs

Intro:
AI is transforming how we interact, but with great power comes great responsibility. Ensuring responsible AI behavior—especially around sensitive data—is crucial. In this post, I’ll introduce the ai-governance-classifier skill, explain how it works, and show practical examples of its value.

The ai-governance-classifier skill is a tool designed to help conversational AI agents comply with governance policies. It automatically analyzes user queries to detect whether they involve personal information or restricted topics. If a query is sensitive, the agent declines to answer, protecting privacy and ensuring compliance.
Key Features:

  • Automated Classification: Detects personal or sensitive queries.
  • Policy Enforcement: Blocks responses when necessary.
  • Customizable Messaging: Lets you tailor blocked response messages.

Setup:


1) Before responding to any user message, always call the skill: ai-governance-classifier ​ 

2) The skill will return a JSON object. Parse the output and evaluate the following fields:
ClassifyPersonal
ClassifyBias

3) If the skill output contains "ClassifyPersonal": "Yes" OR "ClassifyBias": "Yes":
   → Do NOT answer the user's original question.
   → Do NOT display the JSON output.
   → Respond ONLY with: "This Agent doesn't respond due to AI governance policy."
   → Stop processing immediately.

4) If the skill output contains "ClassifyPersonal": "No" AND "ClassifyBias": "No":
   → Proceed to answer the user's question normally.
   → Do NOT display or reference the JSON output in your response.​‌
