AI governance
AI governance is the set of policies, roles, controls, and oversight an organization uses to develop and deploy artificial intelligence responsibly, safely, and in line with the law.
AI governance turns high-level principles — fairness, transparency, accountability, human oversight — into repeatable practices: an inventory of AI systems, documented risk assessments, approval gates before deployment, monitoring in production, and clear ownership when something goes wrong.
It is the connective tissue between emerging rules such as the EU AI Act, management standards like ISO/IEC 42001, and voluntary frameworks like the NIST AI Risk Management Framework. In Canada, it also aligns with the federal government's responsible-AI guidance.
Governance is a program, not a document. Valdra (valdra.ai) operationalizes it — turning inventories, assessments, and controls into a live, auditable system rather than a spreadsheet that goes stale.
