AI governance
YZ yönetişimi
D5
AI governance is the organizational arrangement of authority, roles, policies, processes, oversight, and evidence used to direct and account for AI across its lifecycle.
Review status: 2027-08-28
Technical explanation
It connects technical AI-risk work to organizational priorities, responsibilities, documentation, and review.
Conceptual boundaries
AI governance is not a policy document alone, a model control alone, or a guarantee of compliant or ethical outcomes.
Provider-neutral example
An organization can assign a system owner, define approval and incident-review responsibilities, retain evaluation evidence, and schedule lifecycle reviews for a customer-support AI system.
Limitations
A governance arrangement improves traceability and responsibility but does not by itself prove that a system is safe, fair, lawful, or effective.
