AI Governance
TL;DR
Policies and processes for responsible, compliant AI use.
What does this mean?
AI governance encompasses policies, processes, and controls that ensure AI is used responsibly, transparently, and in compliance with applicable laws.
How it works
Organizations define policies for AI usage, assess risks, document decisions, and maintain audit trails. This includes ethical guardrails and compliance checks.
Example
A company creates an AI policy that specifies which data may be used, who must approve AI systems, and how outputs are documented.
Why it matters
With the EU AI Act and growing AI adoption, governance is becoming mandatory. Organizations need clear rules before deploying AI in production.
