- Consolidating decisions into one technical team accelerates approvals by removing slower reviewers from the AI release path entirely.Wrong direction, and implausible as a benefit, since adding functions broadens rather than narrows the group and speed is not the stated goal.
- Diverse expertise and perspectives surface risks and blind spots a single-discipline group would likely overlook when reviewing systems. ✓Correct. The BoK ties cross-functional collaboration to efficacy and to the diversity of expertise and perspective that catches broader risks.
- Assigning all accountability to the engineering function clarifies ownership by naming one discipline as solely responsible for outcomes.Plausible-sounding but contrary to the change, which distributes perspective across functions rather than concentrating accountability in engineering.
- Standardizing on a single external framework lets the board benchmark its AI practices against widely recognized governance expectations.Plausible, because frameworks aid governance, but adopting a framework is unrelated to the benefit of adding varied functional representatives.
The trap
Assuming the goal of a governance board is faster approvals or a single accountable discipline rather than diverse risk detection. How to remember it
Cross-functional collaboration brings diverse expertise and perspectives that expose risks and blind spots a single-discipline team would miss.
