Über diesen Titel

 The CEO assumes Legal has AI governance covered. Legal assumes IT built compliance into the systems. IT assumes the Compliance Officer is tracking regulatory requirements. The Compliance Officer is drowning in retroactive documentation while new AI projects ship weekly.When the SEC comes knocking—or the lawsuit lands—everyone points at everyone else.But regulators don't care about your org chart. They care about who had authority. And the legal standard emerging from SolarWinds and Uber is crystal clear: if you had authority, you had responsibility. Delegation is not a defense.**This episode exposes the pass-the-buck cycle destroying careers in 2026:****The Executive Blind Spot**- 88% of boards view cybersecurity as business risk, but executives can't answer basic questions about their AI systems- SEC charged SolarWinds' CISO personally; Uber's CSO was criminally convicted- Legal standard shifted from "did you have policies" to "did leadership exercise oversight"- Three executives giving three different answers about the same AI system = not governance, it's liability**The Legal Department Trap**- Legal operates from precedent—but AI governance precedent is being written monthly- Meta settled with Texas for $1.4B (July 2024); Google for $1.375B (May 2025)- Legal reviews AI projects at the end, after they're built and deployed- They're not asking: Can we explain this algorithm to a jury? Do we have audit trails that prove governance?- When enforcement comes, Legal has emails proving they weren't consulted early enough**The IT Pressure Cooker**- IT measured on delivery speed, not governance maturity- Documentation gets sacrificed: "We'll document in phase two" (phase two never comes)- No exit strategies: What happens when AI model starts hallucinating or drifts into discriminatory patterns?- Most organizations have no rollback plan, no kill switch, no way to revert to human decision-making- When regulators ask for approval workflows and monitoring evidence, IT won't have it**The Compliance Officer's Impossible Job**- Three full-time jobs for one person: (1) Retroactive documentation of systems that already shipped, (2) Current compliance requirements, (3) Anticipating future regulations- No authority to stop projects, no budget to hire help, no seat at the table when AI initiatives get approved- When something goes wrong, becomes designated scapegoat—but has emails documenting every time they were overruled- Title without authority = paper trail showing compliance was someone's job, not organization's priority**The Convergence**When all four dynamics collide and the lawsuit lands:- CEO approved investments without understanding what was built- Legal blessed projects using outdated frameworks- IT shipped systems without documentation or exit strategies- Compliance Officer buried in cleanup with no authority to prevent new problems- Everyone points at everyone else—but regulators care about who had authority- If you had authority, you had responsibility. Delegation is not a defense.**The Six-Point Framework to Stop the Cycle:**1. **Cross-functional ownership** - AI governance is leadership responsibility requiring executive oversight, not single function2. **AI system inventory** - Complete inventory this week: what it does, what data it accesses, what decisions it makes, who approved it3. **Named accountability** - For every AI system, a named individual (not department) who owns governance and can shut it down if necessary4. **Documentation that proves governance** - Audit trails, decision logs, approval workflows—evidence someone was watching5. **Exit strategies for every system** - Ability to revert to human decision-making within hours if AI fails or regulator orders shutdown6. **Governance gates** - No new AI projects ship without governance documentation; no "we'll add it later" exceptions**Key Insight:** Organizations that govern AI properly move faster because they're not constantly cleaning up messes or losing months to retroactive documentation. Governance isn't the enemy of speed—chaos is. Governance is what lets you move fast without breaking things that can't be fixed.**The Question That Matters:**Right now, somewhere in your organization, an AI system is making decisions. Can you explain how it works? Can you prove someone approved it? Can you demonstrate it's being monitored? Can you shut it down in 24 hours if needed?If the answer to any of those is no, you don't have an AI governance problem. You have a leadership problem manifesting as AI risk.---📋 Don't wait until the lawsuit lands.
