Useful AI governance is not a binder of unused policies. It is inventory, ownership, risk tiers, human oversight, vendor controls and evidence. This guide shows how to align with NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001 ideas without freezing delivery.
Key takeaways
- •Start with inventory and ownership before writing long policy documents.
- •Classify use cases by risk so controls match impact.
- •Use readiness and alignment language unless formal certification is in scope.
