KEY INSIGHTS

Governance creates value: Effective AI governance is not a compliance exercise – for private capital firms, it is a discipline central to value creation, which can be applied as rigorously to their own operations as to their portfolio companies.

Humans must stay in control: An effective AI governance framework places human oversight and accountability at its core, with named individuals responsible, clear rules on data and tools, and meaningful review of every AI-generated output.

Nimbleness is now essential: As technology, regulation and use cases evolve rapidly, firms must continuously adapt their AI policies – and embed a culture that empowers, even requires, staff to use AI actively while remaining alert to its risks.
