IT Governance: Managing Emerging Risks with Generative AI (GenAI)
- Overview of IT governance as a subset of corporate governance
- Specific governance areas within IT governance
- Risks associated with uncontrolled use of GenAI
- Mitigating these risks using COBIT and operational measures
Slide 2: What is Corporate Governance?
- Set of rules, practices, and processes for directing and controlling an organization
- Ensures alignment of business strategy with stakeholder interests
- Core principles: Transparency, accountability, fairness, responsibility
- Involves oversight of management, financial performance, risk management, and compliance

- Ensures efficient and secure IT operations
- Manages IT risks, compliance, and resource allocation
- Provides accountability and transparency in IT-related decisions
Slide 4: How IT Governance Relates to Corporate Governance
- IT governance ensures that IT initiatives support broader business objectives
- Manages risks that arise from the use of technology in the organization
- IT governance enables strategic use of technology to enhance business performance
- Supports corporate governance principles like accountability, compliance, and risk management
Slide 5: Specific Governance Areas within IT Governance
- IT Risk Governance: Identifies and mitigates IT-related risks (cybersecurity, system failures)
- Data Governance: Ensures data security, privacy, and compliance with regulations
- Information Security Governance: Protects the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information
- IT Resource Governance: Optimizes management of IT assets and personnel
- Compliance Governance: Ensures compliance with laws (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA) in IT operations
Slide 6: Frameworks That Facilitate IT Governance
- COBIT: Comprehensive framework for aligning IT with business goals and managing IT risks
- Focuses on strategic alignment, risk management, performance measurement
- ITIL: Framework for IT Service Management (ITSM)
- Ensures efficient, reliable IT service delivery
- Focuses on processes like incident management, change management, and service-level agreements (SLAs)
Slide 7: Uncontrolled Use of GenAI as a Specific IT Governance Risk
- Online Models:
- Risks of data privacy, security breaches, and compliance violations
- Dependency on third-party vendors
- Limited control over model behavior and updates
- Local Models:
- Vulnerabilities include model exploitation, bias in outputs, and resource strains
- Risks of data poisoning, model theft, or misuse by authorized personnel
Slide 8: Operational Measures to Manage Risks of GenAI
- Data Governance: Enforce data anonymization and privacy policies
- Access Controls: Limit access to GenAI tools and models to authorized personnel
- Model Monitoring: Continuously monitor GenAI performance and bias
- Compliance Checks: Ensure AI usage complies with data privacy laws and regulations
- Employee Training: Train staff on responsible AI use and risk awareness
Slide 9: How COBIT Monitors Risks Associated with GenAI
- Risk Identification and Assessment:
- COBIT guides the identification of risks like data breaches and model bias
- Risk prioritization based on severity and business impact
- Risk Mitigation:
- COBIT recommends implementing controls such as encryption, access management, and monitoring tools
- Performance Monitoring with KPIs:
- Key metrics: Data breach incidents, model bias detection rates, compliance audit success rates
- Regular audits and continuous improvement cycles
Slide 10: Conclusion
- IT governance is essential for aligning IT initiatives with corporate governance goals
- GenAI introduces specific risks that require careful management
- Frameworks like COBIT provide structure for monitoring, assessing, and mitigating IT risks
- Operational measures like data governance, access control, and compliance monitoring are key to managing GenAI risks
