Fines up to €35M or 7% of global revenue. Governance sounds like a 6-month enterprise project. It's not. It comes down to 8 things: 1. AI Inventory: Know every AI system your business actually uses. 2. Data Lineage: Track where data flows and what transforms it. 3. Data Quality: Bad data in, bad decisions out. 4. Data Security: Encrypt it, anonymize it, log it. 5. Access Control: Not everyone needs the keys to everything. 6. Human Oversight: AI decides nothing alone. 7. Compliance Tracking: Map your systems to the rules that apply. 8. Audit Logs: If you can't prove it, it didn't happen. Most companies skip straight to compliance. But compliance without the other 7 layers is just paperwork. Start with an AI inventory. List every tool your team uses. Every chatbot. Every auto-scorer. Every copilot. Most leaders discover 3x more AI systems than expected. That one step changes the conversation from "we should do something" to "here's exactly what we need to govern." Which of these 8 is the biggest gap in your organization? ⬇️ Let me know in the comments Credit to Alex Miguel Meyer. Follow him for more.
