- A single department of data scientists who own every governance decision without input from other business areasPlausible but wrong: a single function is the opposite of cross-functional governance.
- A team drawing on legal, security, data science, and business roles to cover diverse expertise and perspectives ✓Correct: a team spanning legal, security, data science, and business embodies cross-functional governance.
- An outsourced vendor that manages all AI governance so internal staff need not participate in oversight at allPlausible but wrong: outsourcing oversight removes internal cross-functional participation and accountability.
- The IT help desk alone, since AI systems are treated purely as a technical infrastructure and support matterPlausible but wrong: confining governance to IT support ignores legal, risk, and business perspectives.
The trap
Treating a capable single-function (e.g., data science or IT) team as equivalent to cross-functional governance. How to remember it
Cross-functional governance draws on legal, security, data science, and business roles together.
