Ep 405: AI Governance in Plain English

About this episode

In this episode, Joanne Sweeney explains AI governance, its importance, and translates the EU AI Act into plain English.

Send us Fan Mail AI Governance is often the piece of work that everyone dreads in case they get it wrong. In this episode, I explain what AI governance actually means, why a 40-page document nobody reads is worse than useless, and how to build guidance light enough to live with but strict enough to protect what matters. Then I translate the EU AI Act into plain English - the four risk tiers and what they mean for everyday organisations. Want to go deeper on AI? 📖 Buy AI Playbook 📩...
