AI governance policy
An AI governance policy is an organization's documented rules for how AI systems must be reviewed, approved, and monitored before and after deployment.
Prerequisite: Responsible product requirement
What matters
A written policy standardizes expectations across teams, so responsible practices don't depend entirely on which individual happens to be building a given system.
Example
A governance policy might require every new model handling personal data to pass a privacy review before it can be deployed to production.
Common misconception
An AI governance policy is not effective just by existing on paper; it needs active enforcement and monitoring to actually shape what teams do.
Recall question
Why does a written governance policy help even across many different teams?
