Ethical AI: Governing AI before it governs you

By Sotiris Spyrou

When an AI system causes harm, the law looks for a person. Not a model.

In 2024 a tribunal held Air Canada responsible for what its chatbot told a customer. "The algorithm did it" did not survive contact with the bench. That precedent is now one of dozens, and the rules are arriving fast: the EU AI Act, ISO 42001, a growing patchwork of national laws.

Ethical AI is a working guide to governing AI before it governs you. It is written for the person who owns the P&L, signs the procurement, or carries the legal exposure when something goes wrong - usually not technical, usually short of time, increasingly on the hook.

Inside:

Who actually answers for an AI system, and how to assign it on paperThe Three Lines of Defence, applied to AIAn AI risk register and impact assessment you can runThe EU AI Act and the US patchwork, in plain termsWhat to do when a model goes wrong: incident response that holds upA 90-day governance starter

This is not a lecture on AI ethics. It is the practical work of not blowing up in your face, and the governance that turns out to be a competitive advantage.
