When AI use needs ownership and oversight.
AI Governance
Set clear ownership and oversight for AI across your organisation. Define how systems are approved, monitored and reviewed, and which decisions remain with people.
What the work covers
Define who is responsible for AI systems, their actions and the decisions people retain.
- Record AI systems, their purpose and accountable owners.
- Define risk levels and approval gates for new uses or changes.
- Separate human responsibilities from authorised AI actions.
- Set rules for information access, connected tools and oversight.
- Monitor performance, incidents and changes to the operating environment.
- Keep decisions, exceptions and escalation responsibilities visible.
Make responsibility visible
Governance matters because AI systems can influence decisions, use sensitive information and act through connected tools. A business needs to know who owns each system, who may approve its use, what the system itself is authorised to do and which decisions must stay with a person.
Hamilton Lockhart helps define those responsibilities across selection, deployment and ongoing operation. Clear approval, review, monitoring and escalation processes let AI use expand without losing visibility over risk, information or accountability.
For staff rules that put the framework into practice, see AI Usage Policy Design.
To help people apply those responsibilities, explore AI Ethics & Governance Training.
