Govern the Use of AI Responsibly With a Fit-for-Purpose Structure
Enable your organization to transparently deliver effective and human-centric AI.
You have been given a mandate to govern how you will responsibly deliver on your roadmap and strategy for AI technologies:
- Develop policies that clarify appropriate use of data and AI models, and limit organizational risk.
- Create processes that support the design, development, deployment and operation of AI models.
- Identify how you’ll make strategic, tactical, and operational decisions that ensure the use of AI aligns to your organization’s goals and values.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
- Most organizations default accountability for AI to IT, or don’t assign accountability at all. Responsible governance requires the business to take accountability for their approach to AI.
- Very few organizations have a formal and structured approach to AI governance:
- AI can introduce or intensify risks that affect the entire organization, but most organizations haven’t integrated AI risks in their enterprise risk management framework.
- Most organizations don’t assign accountability for AI or it defaults to the CIO – and yet authority and true accountability remain with the business.
- Policies are published without any controls to monitor and enforce compliance.
Impact and Result
- Start to govern AI responsibly by following Info-Tech’s structured approach:
- Identify key risks related to AI.
- Identify a set of responsible AI principles.
- Create an AI governance structure: identify key governing organizations, their mandate, key roles and responsibilities.
- Design an AI governance operating model.
- Evaluate policy gaps using a policy framework.
- Use your findings to develop a roadmap and communication plan to govern AI in your organization.
