AI Governance and Ethics Visual Reference: A Practical Guide to AI Policy, Risk, and Compliance in t

AI is no longer a single model to approve once and forget.

Today it means chatbots, copilots, and autonomous agents woven into everyday work, often acting on their own initiative across systems you may not fully see. Governing that reality takes more than a policy document sitting in a drawer.

AI Governance and Ethics Visual Reference gives you a practical, visual walkthrough of what responsible AI governance actually looks like in 2026. Instead of dense legal text, every page pairs a clear visual with the essential point behind it, built for quick lookup rather than a single cover-to-cover read.

Inside, you'll find grounded, practical guidance on:

The major regulatory frameworks shaping AI use today, including the EU AI Act, the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, and ISO 42001

Governing generative and agentic AI, from chatbots and copilots to autonomous multi-step agents

Data privacy, security, and the new risks unique to LLM and agent-based workflows

Bias, fairness, and explainability in AI-supported decisions

Building a practical governance roadmap, from policy design to incident response

Whether you lead a governance function, sit on a risk or compliance team, or simply need to use AI responsibly at work, this book is designed to earn a permanent place on your desk, not your shelf.

It is the first title in the AI Visual Reference Series, which applies the same fast, visual, look-it-up format across major business functions and industries, from human resources and procurement to healthcare and financial services.
