AI Governance
AI governance is the set of policies, processes, and oversight mechanisms an organization puts in place to ensure AI is used responsibly, effectively, and in accordance with its values. It covers questions like: which AI tools are approved for use? What data can be shared with AI systems?
Who is responsible when AI-assisted decisions cause harm? How are AI outputs reviewed for accuracy and bias? For most SMBs, AI governance doesn't need to be complex — it starts with a clear usage policy and basic data handling guidelines, then scales with the organization's AI maturity.
