Practical AI Governance

"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." * 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. *
"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." * Emma Martins, Chief Commissioner, UK Data & Marketing Commission; former Data Protection Commissioner, Bailiwick of Guernsey *
"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." * Tim Harty, CEO, Mondaq *
"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." * Pam Dixon, Founder and Executive Director, World Privacy Forum *
"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." * Vivienne Artz OBE, Chief Executive, FTSE Women Leaders Review *
"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." * Paul Brietbarth, Digital Law Expert and Regulator *
"No other work has captured so profoundly the multi-layered approach needed for successful AI governance across organizations. Practical AI Governance leaves no stone unturned, providing crucial considerations for both practitioners and leadership on how to recognize, engage with, and overcome existing institutional barriers to build a comprehensive and proactive AI governance program. Shoshana Rosenberg does a remarkable job of bringing to surface the hidden building blocks that every organization needs. This book is more than just a resource; it's a collection of powerful truths emerging across any organization building a successful AI governance program, where everyone has an inherent part to play. It successfully takes on the challenge of pinpointing and operationalizing both systemic and interpersonal pain points that organizations must address in order to proactively realize the full spectrum of AI-driven conditions shaping them. Rosenberg reveals profound truths about the interplay between self and system that organizations often overlook when embedding AI technologies into their workflows. Practical AI Governance is a structural map containing all of the treasures necessary to help the full suite of an organization implement a successful AI governance program, and successfully captures the ethos of systemic change needed for organizations to succeed in today's environment." * Isabel Hahn, European Data Protection and Technology Law and Policy Expert *
"This book captures exactly why ShoshanaRosenberg 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." * Kerry Barker, Head of Responsible AI and Governance, Sony Interactive Entertainment and former AI Governance Lead, Google *
"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." * Marie Potel Saville, CEO and Co-Founder, FairPatterns *
"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." * Carey Lening, Data Protection and Security Expert *
