Ownership does not require a new department
A small business may assign responsibility to an existing leader or cross-functional group. The important part is having a known place where AI decisions are coordinated.
Maintain visibility
The owner should understand approved tools, active use cases, policies, vendor evaluations, employee questions, training needs, and future projects.
Coordinate decisions
Central ownership helps prevent different departments from making conflicting choices about tools, data, permissions, and acceptable use.
Review the program periodically
AI capabilities change quickly. A regular review helps the organization keep policies, training, tools, and actual employee behavior aligned.
