What is AI governance?
AI governance is the set of policies, controls and oversight an organization uses to keep its AI systems safe, lawful and accountable. It becomes operational when policy turns into checks that run before deployment and leave evidence that they ran: policy as code, evidence that ships, and governance your auditor can verify with one command.
