  1. An AI governance committee or council with cross-functional authority to set policy and approve high-risk uses ✓
    Correct: a cross-functional governance committee is the body that sets policy, approves high-risk use, and owns oversight accountability.
  2. A data science center of excellence responsible for model-development standards and broad technical best practices
    Almost right: a CoE drives technical standards but does not hold organization-wide policy and accountability authority.
  3. An internal audit function that independently tests controls and reports compliance gaps to the leadership
    Plausible but wrong: audit provides independent assurance and must stay separate from setting and approving policy.
  4. A privacy office that administers data-subject rights and oversees data-protection impact assessments today
    Plausible but wrong: the privacy office covers data-protection duties, a subset of AI governance, not overall AI oversight.
The trap
Placing overall AI accountability in a technical team (CoE) or in internal audit, which must remain independent.

How to remember it

A cross-functional AI governance committee sets policy, approves high-risk uses, and owns overall accountability.
