What You Get in Chapter Three:
Security & Compliance
Security and compliance determine whether AI systems can operate with permission as much as capability.
Chapter Three focuses on how enterprises maintain control once AI moves into real workflows, regulated environments, and decision-making paths that carry legal and operational consequences. It gives you the structures to keep AI defensible as it expands, without relying on static policies or one-time approvals. In this chapter, you’ll learn:
-
Where AI risk accumulates once systems cross teams, tools, and vendors
-
How ownership and accountability break down after deployment and how to anchor them
-
Why traditional security controls fall short when applied to AI systems
-
What enforceable governance looks like once systems begin to change
-
How to detect exposure before incidents, audits, or enforcement actions
-
How to stress-test AI systems before real-world pressure finds the gaps
