AI Governance Assistant
Ethical AI, Regulation & Security in High-Risk Environments

It provides structured, context-aware responses that reflect:
-
Internationally recognised ethical principles for AI
-
Emerging and established regulatory frameworks
-
Governance and risk-management practices relevant to AI-enabled systems

Responses are framed from a governance and compliance perspective, rather than a purely technical or commercial viewpoint.

Encourage alignment between technical design, organisational processes, and regulatory expectations
This approach reflects contemporary best practice in AI governance, where ethical, legal, and security considerations must be addressed together, not in isolation.
