What leaders ask us about AI governance.
What is AI governance? +
AI governance is the system of policies, controls, validation, and
accountability that determines which AI systems your organization
deploys, what data they can touch, and how you prove they behave.
Done well, it turns AI from a legal risk into an asset you can defend
in front of a regulator, a board, or an auditor.
How is AI governance different from data governance? +
Data governance controls the quality, ownership, and trustworthiness
of the data itself. AI governance sits on top of it: it controls
which models can consume which data, how those models are validated
and tested, and what policies keep their outputs safe. At DataOps the
two are inseparable. Every AI system we design consumes only
governed, certified data products.
What makes an AI system trustworthy? +
A trustworthy AI system stands on four things: a governed data
foundation of certified data products, model validation including
adversarial testing that tries to break it before users do, explicit
policy and controls for what it can and cannot touch, and continuous
monitoring once it is live. Trust is engineered and evidenced, not
asserted.
Can AI be used in defense and regulated industries? +
Yes, with compliant architecture. We design AI systems for regulated
environments, including CUI and ITAR workloads in GCC High, so
defense and other regulated organizations can deploy AI on
infrastructure that satisfies their compliance obligations.
