Perception

Perception in AI governance refers to how stakeholders understand, interpret, and form beliefs about AI systems and their organizational implications. This matters for governance because decisions about AI deployment, oversight, and risk management are heavily influenced by whether executives, regulators, and employees accurately grasp AI capabilities, limitations, and potential harms. Misaligned perceptions can lead to either excessive caution that stifles beneficial innovation or dangerous underestimation of risks, making perception management a critical component of effective compliance and stakeholder alignment.
