The missing layer of AI governance is the human one
The World Economic Forum has published a piece arguing that current AI governance frameworks are missing a critical element: accountability for the people who build, deploy, and oversee AI systems.
Why this matters: Most AI governance debate focuses on the technology itself. Rules for the model, audits of the output, labels on the content. That matters, but it lets the humans off the hook. Someone decides what an AI is trained on. Someone decides where it gets deployed. Someone decides when to ignore a warning. If governance does not reach those people, it is not really governance. It is a paper layer that makes institutions look responsible without making anyone actually responsible.
