The rules, roles, and processes an organisation puts in place to make sure its AI is developed and used responsibly, fairly, and in line with the law.
AI governance operationalises principles such as fairness, transparency, and accountability into concrete organisational controls. It encompasses strategy (defining AI values and risk appetite), structure (AI ethics committees, governance boards, and accountable executives), processes (risk assessment, conformity assessment, incident management), and assurance (internal audit, external review, regulatory reporting). ISO/IEC 42001 provides a certifiable management system for AI governance; ISO/IEC 38507 addresses corporate governance of AI at board level. Effective AI governance is the foundation on which EU AI Act compliance is built.
Boards and C-suites increasingly view AI governance as a strategic capability — organisations that invest early build the operational structures that enable faster, more confident AI adoption with reduced regulatory and reputational risk.
