Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing how organizations operate and make decisions. However, most existing governance frameworks were designed for traditional data management and risk control, not for systems that learn and evolve on their own. To manage AI responsibly, organizations must expand their governance models to include ethical oversight, transparency and accountability for automated decision-making.…

Read MoreKeeping the Data Healthy
Data is the foundation of modern technology. It powers search engines, recommendation systems, medical tools and artificial intelligence (AI). When that data is intentionally manipulated, the technology built on it can be quietly and effectively undermined. This practice is often called data poisoning, and its impact reaches far beyond technical systems. The Register brought this…
