Back in the days of SOX, assessing a company's Control Environment was a key feature of assessing the quality of controls. AI introduces additional excitement into the mix. So, AI risk management is crucial to a modern control environment because AI systems can go off the rails in unique ways—through bias, data leaks, model drift, or unclear “black box” decisions that old-school controls just don’t catch. By spotting these AI‑specific risks early, companies can add smart controls like data governance rules, human‑in‑the‑loop approvals, and constant model monitoring using frameworks such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology Risk Management Framework (NIST’s AI RMF). When AI risk management is baked into everyday controls, it turns governance from a box‑ticking exercise into a real‑time safety net for AI experiments. Internal audit and risk teams can stress‑test models, challenge weird outputs, and hold vendors accountable, letting the business move fast with AI while staying fair, compliant, and trustworthy with customers and regulators.

Did anyone get a chance to chat with the AI Governance agent? Give it a try and let me know how it went. Here's the number: 1-835-999-2596

Good day everyone. Our community continues to grow and we are off to a great start. Please take a moment to introduce yourselves so that everyone can get to know you. Check out the Classroom and go spend some time thinking about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles exercise. Would love to hear what you think. Finally, be sure to give Jessica a call and ask your AI Governance questions.

Good day everyone and welcome to all our new members. I look forward to making this community interactive and useful to everyone who joins. I invite everyone to give our AI Governance Information Agent, "Jessica" a try. The agent is trained on multiple AI Governance frameworks and can answer a diverse array of questions. Here's the number --> 1-835-999-2596. Conversations are set to complete at the 10 minute mark. If you have more questions, just call back. Please test out the tool and reply to this thread with comments or questions. Thanks!

Good day everyone. I'm very pleased to see members join us from the Calgary AI Salon event that took place on Tuesday, March 10. It was a great introduction to a new ecosystem player and joins over 40 similar groups worldwide. Montreal is apparently the largest and most active of the AI Salons around the globe which Calgary should take up as a challenge to catch up to.
