Responsible by Design: Understanding AI Governance

Think of AI governance like the rules and referees of a game: without them, there's no guarantee it's being played fairly, or that anyone will want to play again. The Data Literacy Guide to AI Governance breaks down the policies, roles, and controls that keep AI systems aligned with business goals, organizational values, and the regulatory environment they operate in. By the end, you'll understand why no single team owns AI risk, and why effective governance depends on legal, data, IT, and business functions sharing accountability.

Purpose

To build a working understanding of AI governance as a business priority, not a compliance checkbox.
