# What is AI governance?

AI governance is the set of policies, processes, and accountability structures that determine how an Australian SME uses AI. It covers data handling under the Privacy Act 1988, risk classification of staff tools like ChatGPT and Copilot, who is accountable, and the evidence a regulator or insurer expects that you have adequate systems.

## Who needs it

Any organisation whose staff use ChatGPT, Copilot, or another AI-assisted tool with customer or staff data. In Australia that sits under the Privacy Act 1988 and the National AI Centre's voluntary guidance. In Singapore, PDPA and the Model AI Governance Framework. In Hong Kong, PDPO and HKMA AI guidance.
