From
Organic AI Use
to Governed AI
1 / Organic AI Use
AI enters through routes the organisation did not design.
2 / AI Adoption
The organisation recognises its use and begins to organise a response.
3 / Governed AI
AI operates within recognised, functioning governance arrangements.
4/ AI Implementation
AI is deliberately designed, deployed or scaled as organisational change.
These conditions often coexist within one organisation. They are not a maturity ladder.
