Artificial Intelligence Governance

AI risk, model governance, assurance and emerging AI regulation.

Introduction

Artificial intelligence changes how decisions are made — and who is accountable for them. AI governance sets the rules, roles and controls that let organisations use AI responsibly and prove it.

It is a natural extension of the control professions: the same questions about ownership, risk, evidence and assurance now apply to models, data and automated decisions.

Governance

Board oversight of AI strategy, accountability for AI-assisted decisions and AI policies.

Controls

Model inventories, validation, human oversight and ongoing monitoring.

Risk

Bias, robustness, privacy, security and third-party model risk.

Compliance

Risk-based obligations under emerging AI regulation and standards.
