A large insurance company is beginning its enterprise AI journey. Executives want to ensure that every future AI project — from Copilot deployments to custom Foundry solutions — is evaluated consistently against fairness, privacy, and accountability expectations before it is approved. The Chief Digital Officer asks what foundational governance structure should be established first to make this consistent oversight possible across all business units. What should you recommend?
