A governance committee should focus on auditing AI decisions rather than creating them anew. Regular reviews assess high-risk use cases, balancing legal and technical aspects. Meetings are kept brief for efficient decision-making. Issues often arise from agenda overload, signaling a need for improved triage, not increased meetings.
A fast-track approval lane streamlines the sign-off process for low-risk AI use cases, requiring only a single accountable manager's approval.
