Artificial Intelligence Governance

AI presents disruptive competitive opportunities for businesses, but increased reliance on AI technologies can also create new potential risk or exacerbate existing challenges.

FTI Consulting brings a wealth of cross-disciplinary expertise to our AI governance services: we can enable innovation to move forward responsibly while minimising financial, operational, and reputational risks.

The Early Adopter’s Critical Path Forward: Integrated Compliance

Navigating a growing body of draft AI laws, regulations, standards, and frameworks can be challenging for organisations pioneering with AI.

FTI employs a risk-based approach to design and build the mission-critical pillars for your organisation’s AI governance programs. By understanding your unique AI risk profile FTI can help your business to develop a robust, scalable framework for AI governance that can be easily deployed across products and jurisdictions.

Scalable Baseline Governance Standards to Reduce AI Risk

FTI’s integrated approach to compliance tackles AI risk at enterprise, product, and operational levels.

Enterprise Governance

FTI can help businesses to define their corporate AI strategy by documenting:

Target Operating Models setting out clear roles and responsibilities for AI risk
Compliance Assessments to establish program maturity and remediation priorities
Accountability Processes to record and demonstrate compliance
Policies and Procedures to formulate policy standards and operational procedures
