It is operational, influential, and already shaping decisions, workflows, and customer experiences. Yet most guidance on AI governance assumes large enterprises with legal teams, compliance offices, and extensive resources. This book addresses the gap.\nGetting Started With AI Governance: The Field Guide for Small Businessesprovides a practical, accessible framework for governing generative AI responsibly without slowing innovation or overburdening teams. It is designed for owners, executives, consultants, and project leaders who must balance speed, ethics, risk, and value in real operating environments.\nRather than focusing on theory or regulation alone, the book translates governance into clear, usable practices. It explains what governance means in a GenAI context, why it matters now, and how to apply it proportionally based on business size, maturity, and risk exposure. Readers are guided through decision-making principles, guardrails, roles, and operating models that fit small and growing organizations.\nKey topics include:\nWhat GenAI governance actually is—and what it is not\nHow to assess AI risk without legal or compliance departments\nResponsible use principles tailored to small teams\nHuman-in-the-loop decision design\nVendor, data, and model considerations\nPolicy-light governance approaches that still create accountability\nIntegrating governance into projects, products, and daily work\nThe book emphasizes enablement over restriction. Governance is presented as a tool for trust, clarity, and sustainable value creation—not as bureaucracy. Examples and frameworks are grounded in real-world constraints, making them actionable for organizations that must move quickly while remaining responsible.\nThis field guide is not a legal manual or a technical deep dive. It is a practical operating guide for leaders who want to use generative AI thoughtfully, transparently, and with confidence.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0GLZT59WG\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0GLZT59WG.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Halberstadt, John|Daniel, Steve\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
