<p><strong>The board is asking. The auditors are coming. Your insurance carrier just added an AI exclusion. You don't have a governance program - and the gap between we're using AI and we can prove we're using it responsibly is widening fast.</strong></p><p></p><p>Between 55 and 58 percent of organizations are using AI. Fewer than 25 percent have a governance program. The Air Canada chatbot ruling, the Samsung code leak, the Replit production-database wipe, the Arup $25M deepfake fraud - the case law and incident library are no longer hypothetical. Insurance carriers have begun pulling AI coverage from organizations that cannot document their controls.</p><p></p><p><strong>AI Governance for Practitioners</strong> is the actionable playbook for the people who actually have to write, defend, and operate AI policy in 2026. It is not theory. It is not a survey of every framework ever written. It is a concrete program design that a CISO, compliance officer, risk manager, CPO, or SMB executive can start implementing on Monday morning.</p><p></p><p><strong>What's inside: </strong></p><p></p><ul><li><strong>The governance landscape (Part I)</strong>. Why AI governance matters now, the Big Three (EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001), the international landscape (CoE Framework Convention, Singapore MGF for Agentic AI, Colorado AI Act, OECD), and how to classify and inventory AI risks - including agentic risks and the trustworthiness characteristics that drive them.</li><li><strong>Building your program (Part II)</strong>. Governance program design from zero, human oversight as a design principle, policy development that people actually follow, vendor and third-party AI risk assessment, audit readiness and ISO 42001 certification, and sector-specific considerations (financial services, healthcare, legal, government).</li><li><strong>Looking forward (Part III)</strong>. Agentic AI governance, the standards acceleration (NIST AI Agent Standards, OpenID AuthZEN, CSA CSAI Foundation), the insurance reckoning, and a 12-month roadmap.</li><li><strong>Templates that work</strong>. A complete AI Acceptable Use Policy, AI Risk Assessment, AI Vendor Assessment Scorecard, Incident Response Plan, framework comparison matrix, decision trees, and a 60+ term glossary - all in the appendices.</li></ul><p></p><p><strong>11 chapters. 7 appendices</strong>. SMB Spotlights and Action Items in every chapter. Designed so an executive can read it and start standing up a program the next week.</p><p></p><p><strong>Includes coverage of the EU AI Act phased timeline, NIST AI RMF GenAI Profile, ISO 42001 certification pathways, Singapore MGF for agentic AI, and the 2025-2026 standards explosion. Cross-references to Securing Agentic AI (2026 Edition) for the technical depth behind the policies.</strong></p><p></p><p></p> AI for Everyone AI Governance for Practitioners: Practical Frameworks for Responsible AI Adoption, Book 20, (Paperback) Author: Ken Tannenbaum ISBN: 9798950533198 Format: Paperback Publication Date: 2026-04-05 Page Count: 354 Book format Paperback Fiction/nonfiction Non-Fiction Genre Computing & Internet Publication date April, 2026 Pages 354 Subgenre Artificial Intelligence Series title AI for Everyone Number in series 20 Edition 2026 Edition Publisher Finnoybu Press Language English Is collectible N Recording time 0 min Retail packaging Single Piece Assembled product dimensions (l x w x h) 7.50 x 0.74 x 9.25 in Assembled product weight 1.34 lb Bisac subject heading Computers
