They work to establish data governance frameworks, implement data quality initiatives, and ensure data lineage (tracking data from source to downstream systems). 2. Risk Management: Controllers assess potential risks associated with AI implementation, including inaccuracies, vulnerabilities, and ethical considerations. They help define and implement risk management frameworks for AI, ensuring that AI systems are used responsibly and ethically. 3. Compliance: Controllers stay informed about relevant regulations and ensure AI systems are compliant with those regulations. They monitor AI systems to ensure they are not violating any laws or policies. 4. Transparency and Auditability: Controllers work to ensure that AI decisions are transparent and auditable. They establish processes to review AI decisions and identify potential biases or errors. 5. Collaboration and Training: Controllers work with IT and business teams to understand AI's capabilities and limitations. They provide training to teams on how to use and manage AI tools effectively. 6.
