Turn AI governance and the EU AI Actinto operational practice

Responsible AI use needs clear ownership, proportionate controls and an operating model that connects regulatory obligations with product and process decisions.

AI governance at a glance

  • Create transparency over AI systems, providers and accountable owners
  • Prioritise obligations and risks by actual use context
  • Integrate controls, approvals and evidence into existing workflows

What robust AI governance delivers

The goal is not another rulebook beside the work, but a practical framework for decisions, controls and evidence.

Transparency over AI use

A reliable inventory shows which systems, models and providers are used in which processes.

Clear accountability

Roles for approval, operation, monitoring and escalation are connected to existing decision paths.

Proportionate controls

Controls reflect purpose, risk, data, affected people and the system's actual use.

Evidence of implementation

Decisions, training, disclosures and reviews are documented so they remain internally verifiable.

From AI inventory to an operational governance system

The starting point depends on your situation and connects regulatory interpretation with operating model, product work and organisational change.

DACH context without false certainty

Operational design depends on use context, sector and jurisdiction. The framework must work across borders without obscuring national differences.

Austria

EU AI Act obligations meet national information and supervisory structures. The RTR AI Service Desk provides Austrian guidance.

Germany

The same EU framework applies in Germany. Integration with compliance, product, works council and procurement processes is what makes it operational.

Switzerland

Switzerland currently has no overarching AI-specific law. EU obligations can still matter in practice for cross-border services and EU markets.

Ways to engage

The right starting point depends on whether transparency, a shared target model or concrete controls are missing first.
