4 Questions every CISO needs to answer about AI

If your board asked today how you are governing AI, how would you respond? Not just the policy you wrote, but what is actually happening across the business. Could you answer with evidence? Many CISOs cannot answer with certainty. AI has entered the business faster than anyone could write policy for it, and securing it across all areas now seems to be the CISO’s responsibility.

AI Governance vs AI Compliance: What's the Difference?

The main difference between AI governance and AI compliance is that AI governance is the internal framework an organization develops to manage AI responsibly, while AI compliance is how organizations demonstrate to external regulators that they’re adhering to applicable laws and regulations. These two terms get used interchangeably, but they solve different problems. With compliance alone, an organization can satisfy regulators without meaningfully controlling how its AI behaves.
