The AI Governance Gap Brief is my monthly newsletter on LinkedIn. Each issue identifies one structural gap between how organisations deploy AI and how governance, accountability, and regulation actually work — written for boards, senior leaders, and compliance teams. No framework theory. No generic advice. One gap per issue.

The Governance Gap — The Evidence Gap
The gap beneath every other gap is an evidence gap. The next AI governance question will not be: Do you have principles? It will be: Can you prove control when AI acted? Regulators, auditors, insurers, and litigants are increasingly moving toward evidence-based scrutiny — asking not what organisations intended, but what they can document. The organisations that have built governance on declaration are approaching a moment of exposure. And most of them do not yet know it.

Three blocks cover the full arc of the Brief — from where governance fails at the technology level, to how organisations create the conditions for failure, to the regulatory and liability exposure that results.
