You are accountable for
- Enterprise risk and reputation attached to AI decisions
- Value capture: AI investment that survives scrutiny
- Regulatory exposure across every operating jurisdiction
What keeps you up at night
- A public incident with the company's name on it — the Air Canada precedent says the chatbot's words are yours
- Discovering the enterprise runs hundreds of AI systems nobody can list
- An AI program canceled at scale after burning two years of budget
Decisions you own
- Name a single accountable executive for AI and put governance on the board calendar
- Set risk appetite: which AI uses are encouraged, tolerated, prohibited
- Fund governance as part of the AI program, not as a tax on it
Your layers of the stack
Questions you should be asking
- Can management produce our complete AI inventory this week?
- Which of our AI uses would a regulator call high-risk — and who owns each?
- What did our last AI incident teach us, and would we catch the next one sooner?
