The policy gap
Organizations often adopt high-level AI principles before they know how to enforce them. A document saying “human oversight” means little if a critical workflow has no approval mechanism.
Governance begins with an inventory of systems, data access and the decisions each can affect.
Controls you can test
Permission boundaries, logging, evaluations, incident processes and vendor reviews can be measured and improved.
Teams should test what happens when a model is uncertain, manipulated or simply wrong.
A competitive advantage
Clear rules can accelerate adoption because employees and customers know what the system is allowed to do.
Trust is easier to build when it is designed into operations.
