Chain Of Command

Chain of command defines the hierarchical structure through which authority, accountability, and decision-making flow within an organization's AI governance framework. In enterprise contexts, establishing clear lines of responsibility ensures that AI-related decisions, from model deployment to risk assessments, are made by appropriately authorized personnel and escalated through proper channels. This structure is critical for compliance because it prevents unauthorized AI implementations, enables rapid incident response when issues arise, and creates an audit trail demonstrating that governance policies were followed.
