AI Governance Is Not Just IT's Job Anymore - So Who Else Is at the Table?
Diginomica, Tuesday, November 3rd, 2026
A Diginomica community survey finds most digital leaders build AI governance policy with input from security, legal and other functions.
Diginomica surveyed its network of digital leaders on how AI governance policy is developed: 51% built their policy with consultation from other business functions, 31% as a cross-functional group, and 14% within the technology department alone.
Cybersecurity was the most common collaborator at 21%, followed by legal at 19%, risk and compliance at 17%, the board at 14% and HR at 13%.
Among cross-functional groups, 43% meet monthly to review the policy, and 47% of businesses rely on all-staff communications to raise awareness.
Community members' quotes range from strong guidelines and controls to a deliberately loose policy meant not to slow AI adoption.
