AI governance for an early-stage startup
A lightweight approach: list, assign, review, record.
Pending professional review. Starter text. This page requires final review by Govind Preet Singh (and any other appropriate professional) before production launch.
Start with a list
Write down every AI model or AI-enabled service your product or team uses. This is an AI register.
Assign an owner
For each item, name who is accountable, what data it sees and who checks its outputs.
Test and record
Try your AI with realistic and difficult inputs, note what goes wrong and how you fixed it. The record is your evidence.
Standards
ISO/IEC 42001 is an AI management system standard. Readiness support helps you prepare; certification is separate and issued only by accredited bodies.
