Description

Artificial intelligence is now firmly embedded in the way organisations operate. It influences decisions, processes and outcomes across business functions. There is greater urgency to ensure that effective AI governance and management is in place and AI risks are understood and treated.

Summary

This analysis argues for the urgent implementation of robust AI governance frameworks and management systems to mitigate operational and societal risks. It highlights the critical role of standardized audits and certifications, such as ISO/IEC 42001, in ensuring transparency and accountability within organizational supply chains. While the piece focuses on corporate risk management, it supports global safety goals by advocating for systematic oversight of increasingly autonomous frontier AI capabilities. These governance structures are presented as essential mechanisms for aligning AI deployments with safety protocols to prevent unintended catastrophic outcomes in critical business functions.
