Better questions, before better tools.
Public institutions are moving from AI experimentation to AI governance. Tool adoption is not enough. Leadership teams need to know who is accountable, what data is used, what dependencies are created, what remains human-controlled, and how decisions can be explained, audited and exited.
The five decisions leadership cannot delegate.
Before any AI deployment is signed off, leadership should be able to answer five questions — by name, in writing.
01
What is the institutional purpose?
02
Who is accountable?
03
What must remain human-controlled?
04
What dependencies are acceptable?
05
How will the institution verify, explain and exit?
