4 steps for businesses to establish an AI governance policy
Financial Management magazine has outlined a four-step framework to help businesses build internal AI governance policies, addressing how organizations can structure oversight of AI tools and their use across operations.
Why this matters: Most companies are already using AI. Far fewer have decided who is responsible when it goes wrong. A governance policy sounds like paperwork, but it is really just an answer to basic questions: what AI are we running, who approved it, what data does it touch, and what happens when it makes a bad call. Without that, accountability disappears into a gap between the vendor, the IT team, and whoever signed the contract. Getting this structure in place early is much easier than untangling it after a problem surfaces.
