A board needs to know four things about AI governance: which rules apply to the business, what the AI policy allows, who owns each AI risk and what the board should see every quarter to know the controls are working. AI Governance for Leaders, taught by Peter Borner, takes a leader through all four in one day and ends with a draft policy and a risk register with named owners.

The rules that matter usually start with data protection and extend to sector rules and, for many businesses, the EU AI Act. A good policy is short, says what people may do and names who decides when something new comes along.

The risk register is where governance becomes real. Every AI use that matters gets an owner, a check and a date for review.
