Inside AI Governance: What Business Leaders Need to Know Before Someone Else Decides for Them
Boards and investors are demanding AI adoption. CEOs are responding quickly, and often without a clear answer to the most basic business question: what, specifically, is AI supposed to do for this organization, against our business objectives, with specific and measurable outcomes? Without those answers, AI is not a strategy but an untethered tactic: an expense with unclear ROI that, beyond known integration and third-party risks, carries unknown perils. The organizations getting this right start with the business case: define the objective, commit to measurement, and build governance around outcomes. The frameworks they need are being built now by practitioners, led by the Coalition for Secure AI (CoSAI). We invite leaders to engage and shape them, or wait and comply with whatever others decide.
