Data Governance

Data governance refers to the overall management of data availability, usability, integrity, and security within an organization. It establishes clear policies and procedures for handling data throughout its lifecycle, encompassing roles and responsibilities, standards, and processes. This ensures data is reliable and used appropriately for various AI applications.

In plain terms

Imagine data governance as the traffic laws and signs for all the information flowing through a city, ensuring cars (data) move safely and efficiently to their correct destinations.

Why it matters

Proper data governance is crucial for building trustworthy and ethical AI systems, as good data quality and responsible data handling directly impact model performance and fairness.
