A Baker’s Dozen: AI Governance Resolutions for 2026

Woods Rogers Cybersecurity & Data Privacy attorney Ross Broudy was featured in Cybersecurity Law Report discussing what companies can do to resolve their AI governance efforts in 2026. Ross and other leading voices in cybersecurity recommend a “baker’s dozen practical resolutions for organizations to develop greater trust in their AI use, advance responsible AI development, mitigate the technology’s array of risks, and respond in a balanced way to the AI-related pressure building inside and outside organizations.”

Ross emphasized the importance of human oversight in AI governance programs: “The aftermath of blind reliance on AI output to make business decisions has the potential to erase and worsen the advantages or productivity gains the AI tool was intended to achieve. Organizations must have in place – and enforce – AI governance policies that require a human to use their own judgment, expertise, and common sense to verify AI output.”

Ultimately, in the context of unsanctioned AI tools (otherwise known as “shadow AI”), Ross highlights the associated higher costs to remediate data breaches and heightened legal liability.
