AI Governance Framework helps organizations establish clear, defensible governance for AI systems by translating AI intent into practical execution. This service enables executive and risk leaders to define accountability, oversight and decision rights while embedding ethical, compliant, transparent and explainable AI practices across the AI lifecycle.

Governance is implemented through the following core service components.
