An Enterprise AI Governance Checklist for Software Teams

Wait 5 sec.

Most AI governance frameworks are written for executives, compliance officers, and risk committees. They produce policies. Policies produce documents. And documents sit in SharePoint while engineering teams ship AI features with zero governance infrastructure.That's not cynicism. It's the pattern. A 2024 McKinsey survey found that 72% of organizations have adopted AI in at least one business function. Fewer than 10% have mature governance in place [1]. The gap isn't a failure of intent. It's a failure of operationalization. Governance frameworks don't translate into acceptance criteria, code review checklists, or deployment gates. So they don't get implemented.
