About the book

Organizations of all sizes are increasing their investment in AI products, tools and developments. However, these transformative technologies come with significant risks and challenges. This actionable guide builds scalable and practical AI governance programs that encourage innovation and minimize risks.

Practical AI Governance will show senior AI, tech and businesses leaders how to design an AI governance program built on proactive engagement, centralized intelligence and adaptive governance, all driven by continuous monitoring. Providing a strategic oversight structure to evaluate and implement AI governance, the book covers the building blocks to creating an AI governance program, the necessary structures and tools for oversight and how to future proof an organization's efforts.

Suitable for any business, this book will demonstrate how to align AI strategies with the needs of multiple stakeholders, the changing regulatory environment, technological trends and an organization's innovation and risk appetite. It explains how to embed AI governance in existing cybersecurity and risk management frameworks and scale AI governance across an organization. Going beyond traditional compliance checklists, it instead offers a logical and holistic approach to governance.

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.

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.

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.
