AI Governance Is Now a Business Priority, Not Just a Legal One

By Elodie Meyer, LL.B., Vanessa Henri, LL.M.

As AI tools spread across every team, organizations need clear rules on how they are chosen, used and monitored. Governance is what lets innovation scale safely.

Inventory your AI use

Start by listing the AI systems in use, the data they touch and the decisions they influence. You cannot govern what you cannot see.

Assign accountability

Define who approves new tools, who reviews risks and who answers to clients and regulators when questions arise.

Build for upcoming rules

New AI frameworks in Canada, the EU and the US share common themes: transparency, risk assessment and human oversight. Preparing now reduces future rework.
