01What does AI governance mean in practice?

AI governance is the set of policies, controls, and documentation that make an AI system accountable: knowing what it does, why it decided something, who is responsible, and how risk is managed. The EU AI Act turns much of this from best practice into legal requirement, tiered by risk.

02The risk tiers that decide your obligations

The Act classifies systems as unacceptable (banned), high-risk (strict obligations), limited-risk (transparency duties), or minimal-risk. Knowing your tier defines your workload — high-risk systems need risk management, data governance, logging, human oversight, and conformity assessment.

03Build governance in, not on

Retrofitting compliance is painful and expensive. Bake documentation, audit logs, and human-in-the-loop into the architecture from day one — exactly the things that also make AI more trustworthy and easier to debug.

The Act's obligations hinge on one thing.
