The AI Governance Guide

Fifteen practical tools for AI oversight — none of which require a technical background.

What it is

Most boards are told that AI is a governance priority, then handed a policy document and a vendor deck. Neither tells a director what to actually do in the room.

This guide is the other thing: fifteen concrete tools — questions, checks and frameworks — that a non-executive director can use without depending on management's framing of the problem.

  • Questions that cannot be answered with a statement of policy
  • How to tell a control that works from a control that is merely declared
  • What to ask about AI a vendor switched on inside software you already licence
  • How to obtain a genuine inventory of AI already in production
