This guidance seeks to set out the ways in which those working in governance can support their organisations with the development of policies to govern the use of AI.

In the absence of effective regulation, boards and senior management should consider how they can effectively govern the lawful, ethical and responsible use of AI and AI applications in their organisations and by their employees.

Ethical behavior is important for all organisations. It is good governance for boards and senior management to demonstrate a commitment to the lawful, ethical and responsible use of AI and AI applications in their organisation and the behaviour of their people in the deployment of AI.
