Imagine driving at night down a narrow, gravel mountain road. It’s pitch black and foggy. You can’t see more than a few feet in front of your car. You know there are steep cliffs to one side of the road and the constant threat of sliding off at any moment.
In these challenging conditions, driving slowly and cautiously is a must because you can’t predict the dangers ahead. A sharp turn? A patch of ice? Another car?
Now, imagine that gravel path is a well-paved highway. Clearly marked lanes and signs indicate speed limits and upcoming turns. Guardrails are on either side of the road, and warnings about upcoming turns or icy patches are in place.
These signs, markers, and features are like governance frameworks within an AI implementation—as the image below demonstrates. They guide, set boundaries, and provide warnings about potential risks.

On a road like this, you can drive faster and more confidently because you have visibility and knowledge of what lies ahead. Similarly, with a robust governance program, you can move forward more efficiently and safely. You can anticipate risks, comply with regulations, and adapt to changes more smoothly.
Some people believe that governance hinders growth and slows progress. However, effective governance is actually the key to empowering your organization to adopt new technology faster than your competitors. And you’re doing it in a safe way that proactively mitigates risks.
