Signal Cross-functional AI governance appears as merged IT-HR, AI councils, and new C-suite roles

Summary

Some organisations are breaking down silos by creating governance structures that span several functions for their AI efforts. Deloitte argues that as human and AI collaboration touches technology, people, process, risk and culture, the leadership team must act like an orchestra following a shared score. It cites three examples. Moderna combined its IT and HR functions to align technology strategy with people strategy. Skillsoft set up an AI council to provide oversight across departments, and Disney appointed a chief AI and collaboration officer to improve cooperation across the business. Deloitte sees such models as a key macro-level dimension of designing work for people and AI.
