As AI rapidly transforms business operations, many companies are deploying advanced models without adequate governance or security controls in place. While IT and security teams are implementing controls around generative AI usage, boards and executive leadership are often lagging, failing to provide oversight or mandate risk management frameworks. This disconnect is creating serious exposure for organizations, especially as AI tools increasingly handle sensitive data and make automated decisions. Companies must proactively define acceptable use, risk ownership, and auditability to avoid reputational damage, regulatory issues, or loss of competitive advantage.
