AI Governance in Action

Learn to govern AI the way it is actually done in organizations, explained in plain English, with hands-on labs and finished professional deliverables.

AI is now in the chatbot that answers customers, the tool that screens job applicants, and the model that flags fraud. Someone has to know what AI is in use, who owns it, what could go wrong, which laws apply, and how to prove it is under control. This book shows you how, step by step. No coding required.

One fictional company runs through every chapter, so the AI system you inventory is the one you assess, control, secure, monitor, and audit.
