AI governance
The policies, roles and oversight that keep AI use accountable.
AI governance sets who may build, buy and use AI, for what, under what risk limits, with clear ownership of each system, an inventory, risk assessment, approval, monitoring and reporting to senior management and the board.
On the exam
Governance questions favour accountability and inventory: you can’t govern AI you don’t know you have.
