What it takes to turn AI governance from policy into practice
A piece from Lexology examines the gap between AI governance as written policy and AI governance as something organizations actually implement and enforce day to day. The focus is on the practical steps required to move from having rules on paper to having rules that shape real decisions.
Why this matters: Writing an AI policy is easy. Following through is where most organizations quietly fail. The gap between a governance document and actual practice is where harm happens, where accountability disappears, and where no one is clearly responsible when something goes wrong. If you work in privacy or AI oversight, that gap is your problem to close. Good intentions and published principles do not protect people. Implementation does.
