Standard Chartered's AI Safety Council Offers a Federated Governance Blueprint

Standard Chartered has described a federated AI governance model in which a central AI Safety Council, shared platforms, and enterprise-wide controls coexist with business-unit-led use-case development. The bank maintains a formal AI inventory overseen by a cross-functional council that brings together engineering, risk, compliance, and business leaders. The model illustrates how large, regulated institutions can balance local innovation with consistent enterprise controls.
