The AI Officer Is Not the New CISO
Appointing one person “responsible for AI” does not create control. It creates a super-role with responsibility for everything and authority over little. AI governance needs coordination — while security, privacy, business ownership and assurance remain distinct.
AI Compliance Is Not the Same as AI Control
Policies, registers and committees are necessary. But they do not prove control. AI governance becomes real only when organizations can observe what changes, detect what goes wrong, intervene quickly and explain what happened after the fact.
