AI Ethics Board

An AI Ethics Board is a cross-functional group of internal and external stakeholders that reviews high-risk AI use cases and advises leadership on AI ethics and AI policy. Boards typically include representatives from legal, compliance, security, business units, ethicists, and increasingly external advisors. Famous examples include IBM's AI Ethics Board, Microsoft's Office of Responsible AI, and Google's now-disbanded Advanced Technology External Advisory Council (a cautionary tale of external-board governance gone wrong). The board reviews proposed AI deployments, evaluates them against ethical principles, suggests mitigations, and can recommend rejection. AI ethics boards work best with clear charters, real decision authority, diverse membership, and protection from being overruled by commercial pressure. AI governance, AI compliance, and AI risk management programs at major regulated enterprises now treat AI ethics boards as standard infrastructure for responsible AI — a forum where contested decisions get serious scrutiny before reaching production.
