AI Governance for Regulated and Professional Businesses

AI can assist professional work. It cannot inherit professional responsibility.

Why professional businesses need AI governance

Professional responsibility, confidentiality and auditability remain with the organisation and its people regardless of AI involvement. Governance must make that explicit.

What good governance covers

• Which tools are approved and for which purposes
• Data boundaries — what can and cannot be processed by AI
• Confidentiality and privilege protections
• Audit trails and explainability requirements
• Human review and approval at key decision points
• Supplier and data-processing controls
