Clear ownership

AI governance works when responsibilities are explicit. A useful model separates executive accountability, use case ownership, control ownership, risk oversight and assurance.

Roles to define

  • Accountable executive.
  • Governance committee.
  • Use case owner.
  • System owner.
  • Control owner.
  • Privacy, security and records advisors.
  • Assurance or internal audit function.
