About the book

Design a scalable AI governance program that protects innovation, manages risk, and builds long-term enterprise trust.

Practical AI Governance equips senior AI, technology, risk, and business leaders with a structured framework for embedding responsible AI oversight across complex organizations. As AI investment accelerates and regulatory scrutiny intensifies, this book outlines a proactive governance model designed to align innovation with accountability, resilience, and measurable business value.

Written by Shoshana Rosenberg, co-founder of Women in AI Governance, the book draws on deep practitioner expertise at the intersection of AI, privacy, and enterprise risk. This book gives practitioners the flexibility to right-size governance to the organization's goals, risk appetite, and operating conditions.

You'll learn how to:
- Design a program built on proactive engagement, centralized intelligence, and adaptive governance all driven by continuous monitoring
- Build on to existing risk, security, and compliance frameworks
- Establish continuous monitoring and accountability mechanisms
- Adapt to evolving regulatory and stakeholder expectations
- Direct investment toward what protects margins and strengthens competitive positions

With clear implementation, Practical AI Governance provides the strategic framework and the diagnostic questions that expose what current compliance programs cannot see.

Themes include: AI governance, responsible AI, AI risk management, regulatory compliance, AI strategy

Reviews

Daniel J. Solove, Bernard Professor of Intellectual Property and Technology Law, George Washington University Law School; Co-Director, GW Center for Law & Technology; President/CEO, TeachPrivacy.

Practical AI Governance is a comprehensive, practical guide for how companies can thoughtfully and responsibly address the complexities of AI. Shoshana Rosenberg writes with passion, experience, and wisdom. This book is essential for any executive or board member that must navigate today's difficult questions regarding AI.

Emma Martins, Chief Commissioner, UK Data & Marketing Commission; former Data Protection Commissioner, Bailiwick of Guernsey

The future of AI will be shaped not just by what technologies can do, but how and by whom they are governed. It matters because the future of AI is all our futures. This book deftly bridges ethical obligations and operational realities, offering an achievable and effective framework for AI governance, oversight, and strategic alignment. Shoshana Rosenberg gives us the deep wisdom and rich experience of a true professional who understands the arc of history as well as the nature and urgency of the challenge. With an offering that is gloriously hype-free, the profoundly values-led approach and intellectual acumen of its author is a wonderful golden thread that weaves though every thoughtfully crafted paragraph. This book is essential reading not just for executives, but for us all.

Tim Harty, CEO, Mondaq

Shoshana Rosenberg deftly describes the challenges facing organizations, including the need to reframe AI-governance mindset, providing practical examples and questions for senior stakeholders. The book includes an excellent architecture for strategy, execution, and oversight, which can be applied to both large organizations and scale ups. The 'architecture of authority' secures the required operational authority, which offers a clear way to move fast without losing the governance that matters.

Pam Dixon, Founder and Executive Director, World Privacy Forum

Practical AI Governance is the book the field has needed. Shoshana Rosenberg writes from deep inside the work - this is not a book about how to perform governance, it is a book about how governance actually functions, fails, and holds. Her treatment of institutional sight - how organizations learn to see what AI is actually doing inside them, versus what they assume - is clarifying in a way that most guidance never achieves. The governance questions for executives and boards that close each chapter make this immediately useful. Rare and valuable.

Vivienne Artz OBE, Chief Executive, FTSE Women Leaders Review

Practical AI Governance is a refreshing and genuinely practical how to guide to AI governance which can be applied to all manner of organizations. From describing and acknowledging the fast evolving realities of AI, and how it is being embedded and used consciously and unconsciously throughout organizations, it proceeds to provide practical approaches for boards and leadership to get back into the drivers seat of what can feel like a runaway train. Shoshana Rosenberg equips the reader to take organizational principles and values and turn them into a governance framework which is embedded into how the organization operates, rather than as a separate process looking in. The concept of governance in motion enables organizations to both manage risks and realize opportunities, enabling the governance approach to continue to be relevant and adhered to across all organizational stakeholders. A must read for all organizations serious about effective AI governance that will support them to move forward with their AI strategy with confidence, rather than hold them back.

Paul Brietbarth, Digital Law Expert and Regulator

Many organizations are struggling with artificial intelligence, especially in a time of rapid technological developments and an uncertain legal landscape. What can we do, what should we do, and how do we keep oversight while doing it? Shoshana Rosenberg offers great insights into how to govern AI in your organization and ensure you maintain proper controls. The step-by-step approach will help you keep control of your data today, and prepare for a heavily regulated world tomorrow.

Kerry Barker, Head of Responsible AI and Governance, Sony Interactive Entertainment and former AI Governance Lead, Google

This book captures exactly why Shoshana Rosenberg is one of the most thoughtful and brilliant minds in AI governance today. She has a rare ability to name the structural shifts others sense but cannot yet articulate - and to translate them into practical, disciplined action. The PRISM framework is a breakthrough contribution to the field. It offers leaders a clear, structured way to examine AI through multiple dimensions at once; exposure, strategy, culture, and control, restoring the institutional sight that so many organizations have quietly lost. Practical AI Governance is invaluable for anyone working in this space. Whether you are just starting out or already well-versed, there is insight here that will sharpen your thinking and strengthen your practice.

Marie Potel Saville, CEO and Co-Founder, FairPatterns

If you think you know what AI governance is, or even what compliance actually means in the AI age, think again. Practical AI Governance entirely redefines policies, controls, processes, decision-making and ultimately what AI governance should actually be to fulfill its purpose: change-native business intelligence. One of the most powerful readings I've encountered in a long time. This book is a unique combination of deep, visionary, almost philosophical perspective on AI governance, with very practical, day-to-day questions, and intrinsically human stories that will resonate with each of us. An essential and delightful read.

Hellen Beveridge, Head of AI Governance & Ethics, AXA UK Plc

Shoshana Rosenberg's incisive work on AI governance leaves no doubt: the age of box-ticking compliance is over. With her clear PRISM framework, she shows how organizations can build governance processes that reveal where AI is driving real change-ensuring decisions are proactive and informed. For any business serious about an AI-driven future, this is essential reading.

Isabel Hahn, European Data Protection and Technology Law and Policy Expert

Practical AI Governance reveals profound truths about the interplay between self and system that organizations often overlook when embedding AI technologies into their workflows. It is a structural map containing all of the treasures necessary to help the full suite of an organization implement a successful AI governance program. Shoshana Rosenberg successfully captures the ethos of systemic change needed for organizations to succeed in today's environment.

Carey Lening, Data Protection and Security Expert

The best thing about Practical AI Governance is that it isn't really about AI governance at all. It's about the hard, messy human work of aligning what an organization says it values on paper, with what it actually does in practice. Shoshana Rosenberg articulates to executives and practitioners alike, not only why the impacts of AI make good organizational governance necessary, but also how to achieve good governance in practice. In short: Even if AI disappears tomorrow, you'll still need this book.

Andreas Rothe, Board Member, CIBT, Former Board Chair, Financial Executives International, and Audit Committee Financial Expert

Practical AI Governance offers a thoughtful approach of how boards should think about AI. Rather than treating AI as a standalone technology or a compliance topic, Shoshana Rosenburg focuses on institutional sight-the organization's ability to see and respond to change in real time as AI reshapes decisions, processes, and risk. The book is thoughtful, practical, and grounded in how organizations actually work. It encourages boards to move beyond static frameworks and ask better questions about visibility, accountability, and decision-making as AI becomes embedded across the business. This is a valuable resource that equips directors to oversee AI with the same rigor they bring to financial oversight.

Practical AI Governance is a comprehensive, practical guide for how companies can thoughtfully and responsibly address the complexities of AI. Shoshana Rosenberg writes with passion, experience, and wisdom. This book is essential for any executive or board member that must navigate today's difficult questions regarding AI.
