The AI & Data Governance project is working to assist organizations in setting and guiding their overall AI strategy, to ensure alignment across all their projects. The aim is to arms them with the tools to build and nurture a collaborative network for knowledge sharing and innovation in AI, establish best practices, pinpoint high-potential AI applications for effective scaling, and enable the seamless integration of AI solutions across different business units.

AI is much like any other business intervention – organizations want to know that it is:

  • Effective – it does the job it is intended to do
  • Safe – it is predictable and can be controlled
  • Proportionate – it achieves its role without undue effort or costs

Organizations can ensure that these objectives are met by adopting AI Management Standards. Such standards help provide a framework that demonstrates proper control of AI to the satisfaction of internal stakeholders, external regulators and customers. This will be done through a focus on the following:

  • Use of AI in Organizations (Business Models) – SLM/LLM/as a service
  • Identifying and managing the risks associated with AI and Data
    • Ethical – AI bias
    • GenAI guardrails, principles, maturity model
    • Procurement (model data sheets, checklists)
    • Operational:
      • AI Fin-ops
      • AI observability
      • Provenance
      • Intellectual property considerations
      • AI infrastructure management (from design and op perspective)
    • Regulatory:
      • The technology and behavioral changes coming from the growth of AI
      • Redefining the regulatory & compliance regime (the AI act and the impact of this)
  • Data ownership and stewardship 
  • Data sovereignty
  • Data lineage 
  • Metadata Management
