AI governance: controlling risks and use cases

What needs to be framed

AI governance defines who may use which tools, with which data, for which purposes and with what level of human validation. It does not block innovation: it makes it usable.

Risks to watch

• Sensitive data copied into uncontrolled tools.
• Unchecked outputs used in important decisions.
• Lack of traceability for use cases and responsibilities.
• Proliferation of AI tools without IT or legal steering.

Start simply

A usage charter, a map of use cases and a few validation rules are often enough to create a strong first foundation. The framework can then evolve with practices.
