Establishing a Governance Framework for AI Risk Management
By Alliant Cyber / March 26, 2025
As organizations increasingly adopt Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, the need for a structured governance model becomes essential. AI presents significant opportunities for operational efficiency, innovation and competitive advantage. However, it also introduces complex risks that must be carefully managed. Developing a comprehensive AI governance model, policy and risk management approach can help organizations reduce significant risks, including security threats, regulatory penalties and reputational damage.
Key Areas of Focus
To ensure responsible AI adoption, organizations should address Risk, Governance and Compliance elements inherent in AI implementation. This includes:
- Privacy and Data Protection – Safeguard sensitive information and ensure compliance with data privacy regulations.
- Security – Mitigate cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities within AI applications.
- Bias and Fairness – Ensure AI-driven decisions are impartial and free from systemic biases.
- Transparency and Accountability – Establish clear AI decision-making processes with traceable outcomes.
- Safety and Resiliency – Enhance AI system reliability to prevent failures that could impact business operations.
By prioritizing these key areas, organizations can build a robust AI governance framework that aligns with industry best practices and regulatory requirements.
