AI GOVERNANCE
AI and Security – Risks, Regulations, and the Way Forward
Artificial intelligence offers significant opportunities for organizations but also introduces new types of risks and responsibilities. To use AI in a safe and lawful way, it is essential to have a solid understanding of the technology’s implications and the ability to work systematically with governance, security, and compliance.
New Risks in an AI-Driven World
When AI systems are used for decision-making, analysis, and automation, vulnerabilities can arise that are not always obvious. The quality of the data can distort outcomes, and a lack of transparency makes it difficult to explain decisions—something particularly problematic in sensitive contexts.
In addition, AI systems may behave unexpectedly, create ethical dilemmas, or handle information in ways that do not meet legal requirements. Without clear governance, it becomes challenging to maintain control, especially when the technology comes from external providers with unclear responsibilities.
AI Act – A New Mandatory Requirement from the EU
ChatGPT sade:
To address these challenges, the EU has introduced the AI Regulation, or AI Act, which came into force in August 2024. The regulation is applied gradually—some parts took effect in February 2025, while others will not apply until 2026.
In short, it means that:
AI systems must be classified according to their risk level.
High-risk AI is subject to stricter requirements for documentation, transparency, and governance.
Prohibited use cases are clearly defined.
Authorities have the power to issue fines of up to 30 million euros.
This places demands on both technology and organizations—from developers and providers to end users.
What Does It Mean for Your Organization?
To meet the new requirements, you need to know which AI systems you use, how they work, and whether they fall under the high-risk classification. But it’s also about internal structures: Do you have processes in place for managing AI? Do you have control over what data is used and how decisions are made?
In other words, it’s not just about technology—it’s about governance, security, and legal compliance.
