Federated Governance

Federated governance is a distributed approach to AI decision-making where authority and policy control are shared across multiple organizational units, teams, or business domains rather than centralized in a single authority. This model is critical for large enterprises where different business units operate with distinct risk profiles, regulatory requirements, and AI use cases. It matters for AI governance because it enables faster policy implementation and greater contextual relevance while maintaining enterprise-wide compliance standards through coordinated frameworks and shared principles.

The playbook identifies five critical control domains: centralized governance structures, identity and lifecycle management, data governance, agent deployment oversight, and executive review of AI use cases prior to scale-up.
