AI Governance & Law · Lead AnalysisIn many companies, governance enters AI conversations as a synonym for delay: committees, forms, and caution. That diagnosis is wrong. Well-designed AI governance does not slow innovation; it removes decision uncertai…
AI Governance & Law · PlaybookIn many organizations, internal audit has received a new mandate: assess whether AI controls are truly effective, not only formally documented. This challenge is qualitatively different from classic IT audits. AI syst…
