Executive Summary

As Artificial Intelligence becomes embedded within business operations, organizations must establish governance frameworks that ensure AI is deployed responsibly, securely, and in compliance with regulatory requirements. AI Governance provides the policies, controls, processes, and oversight mechanisms required to manage AI-related risks while maximizing business value.

Why AI Governance Matters

AI introduces unique challenges related to:

  • Data privacy
  • Security
  • Ethical decision-making

Without governance, organizations risk reputational damage, operational failures, and regulatory penalties.
