Module summary
AI governance is the set of ownership structures, risk controls and approval processes that let an organization adopt AI safely and at speed. This module frames governance as an enabler — not a blocker — and gives leaders a practical model for who decides what, and on what evidence.
AFTER THIS MODULE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO
Explain AI governance to a board in business terms and set clear ownership.
Identify the approval gates an AI initiative must pass before deployment.
Use a lightweight model card to answer most risk-team questions early.
PRACTICAL EXERCISE
Map one live AI use case in your organization to a governance owner and an approval gate.
Use the AI Governance Checklist from Documentation as your template. It should take about 15 minutes and gives you an artefact you can bring to your next risk review.
