A large part of AI governance involves systems the organisation didn’t build. Businesses increasingly rely on AI provided through external software, which creates a different governance challenge from working with technology developed entirely in-house. The organisation may have limited visibility into the underlying model, and some information may simply be unavailable. That doesn’t make effective governance impossible. It changes what the organisation can control and, as a result, the questions an AI GRC professional needs to ask. Understanding that distinction is useful for anyone learning how AI governance works in practice.
