What Is AI Governance?
AI governance is the operating model that defines how an organization controls AI systems throughout their lifecycle. It sets ownership, risk classification, approval rules, monitoring requirements, documentation, evidence capture, and human oversight. It is not the same as AI development or AI integration. AI development builds functionality. AI integration connects AI into business workflows. AI governance makes sure AI-supported decisions remain accountable, reviewable, secure, and aligned with business and regulatory expectations. For companies in healthcare, fintech, insurance, and other regulated industries, AI governance also helps answer a critical question: if someone asks how an AI-assisted decision was made, can the organization provide a record instead of reconstructing the answer later?
