Why AI Governance

Why AI Governance, why now?

AI systems increasingly influence decisions affecting people, institutions and markets. Structured governance, clear accountability and independent oversight are essential for responsible, safe and trustworthy use.

AI as enterprise risk

AI now intersects with strategic, operational and reputational risk. Governance provides the structure leaders need to guide AI adoption responsibly.

Regulation & accountability

As regulatory expectations grow, organizations need professionals who can interpret requirements and translate them into governance practice.

A new professional discipline

AI governance is emerging as a formal discipline, requiring structured skills, shared terminology and verifiable certification standards.
