SMEs - AI governance
AI Governance
Compaia helps move from scattered AI uses to readable, actionable AI governance proportionate to an SME.
Short answer: Compaia helps SMEs set up AI governance: responsibilities, usage rules, AI policy, human oversight, training, register and evidence to control AI systems.
Key points
- AI governance must clarify who may use what, for which purpose and with which safeguards.
- For an SME, AI governance should start with simple rules, a living register, adapted training and evidence.
- It must connect internal policies, register, training and incident follow-up.
- A framework that is too heavy will not be applied; a framework that is too vague will not protect.
Minimum building blocks
Proportionate governance starts with a few robust building blocks, then grows with usage.
- Internal AI policy and generative AI usage rules.
- AI usage register.
- AI literacy training.
- New use approval process.
- Incident tracking and periodic reviews.
Frequently asked questions
Does AI governance only concern high-risk systems?
No. High-risk systems require more measures, but common generative AI uses must also be governed.
How should an SME start AI governance?
Start with the Compaia diagnostic, map real AI uses, create a short AI policy, train exposed people and keep evidence in the register.
