Do you have AI guardrails?
Ethics, policy, and risk management. No AI policy means no trust — and one unreviewed output shared externally is a reputational risk you can prevent.
Why this matters
A weak governance dimension slows the rest of the framework. Fixing it creates leverage across the other five dimensions.
Four signs you have a governance gap
There is no written policy on what AI can and cannot be used for
AI-generated content is shared externally without a mandatory review step
No named person is responsible for AI risk or policy
AI incidents have no defined reporting or escalation process
Where to start
Three first actions
Start small, but make the actions real. The goal is not another deck. The goal is movement.
Write a one-page acceptable use policy — what AI can do, what needs review, what is off-limits
Define a mandatory human review step before any AI output is shared externally
Assign one named AI owner with explicit responsibility for governance
Measure before you act
