1. Introduction

Effective AI governance and compliance ensure businesses integrate AI safely and ethically. Trina Huntsman, an audit and compliance analyst at ERP Suites, provides insights on managing AI risks, regulatory expectations, and maintaining business trustworthiness.

2. Understanding AI Governance

AI governance involves establishing strategic frameworks, policies, and procedures to use AI responsibly and ethically. It includes risk management, accountability, regulatory compliance, transparency, and lifecycle management, helping businesses use AI effectively while minimizing risks.

3. Clarifying AI Compliance

AI compliance ensures AI systems adhere to laws, regulations, industry standards, and internal ethical policies. It addresses privacy, bias prevention, transparency, auditability, and risk management, helping companies avoid legal penalties and maintain trust.

4. Governance vs. Compliance: Key Differences and Similarities

• Governance is internally driven, strategic, and defines responsible AI use.

• Compliance is externally driven by laws and regulations, ensuring AI follows specific legal rules.

• Both manage AI-related risks, rely on policies, enforce accountability, and aim for transparency.

Trina uses an analogy comparing governance to a navigation system and compliance to a speedometer and legal checklist.

5. Implementing AI Governance and Compliance

A phased, structured approach aligned with a company’s unique risk profile and regulatory environment is crucial. Begin by addressing high-impact areas with clearly defined rules and processes.

6. Critical Areas for Initial Compliance Focus

Initially address:

• Data privacy and protection

• Bias and fairness

• Transparency and explainability

• Regulatory alignment

• Human oversight and accountability

• Security and model integrity

• Documentation and auditability

7. Importance of Training and Human Oversight

Training ensures employees understand AI governance and compliance requirements, preventing unintended information leaks. Human oversight ("human-in-the-loop") is essential for catching automated errors, maintaining accountability, and providing continuous oversight.

8. Real-World Success Examples

Companies like CoPilot, Gemini, and ChatGPT successfully implemented comprehensive governance and compliance frameworks, setting industry standards for responsible AI use.
