Further information

AI governance is no longer just a policy exercise. As organizations deploy AI across business processes, analytics, coding, and customer interactions, governance must become part of everyday operations. Yet many organizations still lack the capabilities to manage the risks that come with production AI.

BARC’s latest study, The State of Data and AI Governance, reveals a gap between widespread AI deployment and governance readiness. Organizations report privacy breaches, biased or harmful outputs, shadow AI, and incorrect results reaching customers. Meanwhile, governance tooling remains focused on data, with less adoption of capabilities for AI models and agents.

Join the webinar to explore what these findings mean for your organization. Learn how mature AI adopters establish ownership, coordinate governance across the enterprise, and extend controls beyond the data layer. We will explore requirements and best practices for model monitoring, guardrails, agent action boundaries, and human approval. Attendees will identify actionable next steps to achieve safe, scalable AI programs.
