AI governance is the set of policies, controls, and audit mechanisms that define how an organization uses AI responsibly across its operations. It ensures that AI systems are used in a way that is safe, secure, compliant with regulations, and aligned with corporate values.
The core pillars of AI governance
- Accountability: Assigning clear ownership for AI risks and outcomes.
- Transparency: Being able to explain why an AI system took a specific action.
- Auditability: Maintaining a tamper-evident record of all AI interactions and policy decisions.
- Safety and Security: Protecting AI systems from manipulation and preventing them from causing harm.
