• Develop and maintain AI usage governance and policy, covering acceptable use, data handling/classification, and vendor and model risk review, in partnership with Security and Legal.
• Evaluate and roll out AI‑assisted capabilities across our enterprise apps, ensuring they meet the governance standards above.
