AI Governance in 2026: Navigating the EU AI Act and Enterprise Compliance

Regulation is no longer hypothetical — it's operational

The EU AI Act is in force, and US state-level rules are multiplying. Enterprise AI teams need governance that satisfies legal, security, and product velocity — not one at the expense of the others.

Practical governance checklist

• Risk tiering: Classify each use case (minimal, limited, high, unacceptable) before build.
• Model cards & data sheets: Document training data, limitations, and intended use for every production model.
• Human oversight: Define who approves high-risk decisions and how overrides are logged.
• Continuous monitoring: Drift detection, bias audits, and incident response playbooks.

Governance as a product accelerator

Teams with clear AI policies ship faster because security and legal aren't blockers at launch — they're built in. Nanostack embeds governance into AI delivery from day one — learn about our approach.
