AI governance guide
EU AI Act for Board Directors
A plain-English board guide to EU AI Act readiness, AI inventories, risk classification, documentation and oversight responsibilities.
Guide
Practical board-level starting point.
Board directors do not need to master every technical detail of the EU AI Act, but they should understand whether the organisation has mapped its material AI systems.
Useful readiness steps include an AI inventory, role mapping, risk classification, vendor review, documentation, human oversight and incident reporting.
Specific legal obligations should be confirmed with legal advisers, but boards can immediately improve readiness by asking for evidence, ownership and a practical governance rhythm.
