AI Governance Framework for Universities

Quick Take / Direct Answer

A university AI governance framework requires six components: an AI ethics policy (governing principles for how AI may and may not be used), a data privacy and protection standard for AI systems, an AI use register documenting every AI system deployed and its data handling, a designated AI lead (typically reporting to CIO), a review process for proposed new AI deployments (including DPIA, FERPA/UK GDPR assessment, equity impact review), and a staff training and awareness programme.
