What does AI governance mean for an organisation?
AI governance is how an organisation decides what its AI may do, who is accountable for it, and how it stays inside the law and its own standards.
It is the difference between AI that turns up team by team and AI you can stand behind.
In practice it comes down to three things: knowing which AI systems you run, knowing which rules reach you, and writing down the decisions so they hold. Everything below is about those three, and the AI governance framework sets out how they fit together.
What actually applies to a UK organisation today?
Less, and more, than the headlines suggest.
The UK has no AI Act of its own yet, so for many organisations the binding rules come from the EU AI Act where their AI activity reaches the EU, and from existing law such as UK data protection.
Whether the EU AI Act binds you turns on Article 2, and parts of it are already in force. The EU AI Act hub covers what applies now and what will apply in 2027 and 2028, and the free check works it out for your systems.

What AI governance does not mean
It does not mean buying a platform, and it does not mean certifying to something to make a problem go away.
A certificate is not compliance with a law, and a tool is not a decision.
Governance is the decisions and the record behind them. The checks here are built to help you make those decisions. How they are built, and what they are checked against, is set out in how we check.
