## What is AI governance?

AI governance is the set of policies, processes, controls, and accountability structures an organization uses to develop, deploy, and oversee artificial intelligence responsibly. A modern AI governance program inventories AI use across the business, classifies risk, defines human oversight, governs AI vendors and procurement, documents models, monitors performance, and aligns the organization with the NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, the EU AI Act, the Colorado AI Act, FTC enforcement under Section 5, and sector regulators (EEOC, FDA, CFPB).
