Rudra Jaiswal, B.A. LL.B., Amity University Madhya Pradesh, Gwalior, India Sanskriti Sinha, B.A. LL.B., Amity University Madhya Pradesh, Gwalior, India ABSTRACT India’s dependence on the sea has never been in doubt; the currency of its shipping law has been. For sixty-seven years the sector was governed by the Merchant Shipping Act, 1958, a statute descended from Victorian British legislation and…

Organisations often focus on collecting data and connecting systems, but the greatest value comes from helping datasets work together and making insights accessible to the people who need them. In this post, I explore the journey from siloed data to democratised access, showing how self-service analytics and AI can unlock hidden value, while strong governance provides the guardrails for confident…

Corporate boards increasingly bear formal fiduciary responsibility for overseeing AI-driven strategic and sustainability decisions, yet their practical capacity to exercise such oversight substantively remains poorly documented. This study investigates whether a measurable AI governance capability gap exists between board-level and executive-level AI competence and examines the implications of th…

Harshita Aggarwal, Bharati Vidyapeeth Institute of Management and Research (BVIMR) Parth Aggarwal, Bharati Vidyapeeth Institute of Management and Research (BVIMR) ABSTRACT The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (“DPDP Act”) is India’s first dedicated statute on digital personal data and is the legislative culmination of a constitutional debate that began in earnest with the Supreme Court’…

The Problem You've built an autonomous AI agent. You've given it constraints—readonly rules it cannot modify. One rule might be: "Never auto-clear the human pause flag." Good. That prevents runaway behavior. But now a legitimate edge case appears. The human explicitly grants authority for one specific action that would violate the constraint. The agent is stuck: Option A : Read around its own doc…

The Problem AI agents are moving from answering questions to taking actions — calling APIs, querying databases, executing code, managing memory. The security surface has shifted from "what the model says" to "what the agent does." Most guardrail solutions address the first problem. They filter content. They detect prompt injection. They moderate output. These are necessary but insufficient. The g…

What to Know: North Central Texas Council of Governments Chief Innovation Officer Tim Howell discussed AI pilots on a Technology Foresight Council panel. He said NCTCOG is approaching AI adoption through three pillars: governance, enablement and access. Howell said his organization has backed that approach with an AI committee, annual strategic planning, an agent governance framework, staff train…

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Toronto, March 23, 2026 — As artificial intelligence (AI) reshapes the financial sector, institutions must strengthen governance, operational safeguards and workforce capabilities to manage a new generation […] The post AI Governance, Operational Resilience and Workforce Readiness are Critical for Advancing Responsible AI, Global Risk Institute Finds appeared first on Global…

As organizations move beyond single-purpose models toward autonomous and adaptive AI systems, governance requirements are changing rapidly. Traditional AI governance frameworks—designed for static models and offline decision-making—are increasingly insufficient for agentic AI systems that plan, act, and interact across complex environments in real time. This article provides a structured, enterpr…

by Tara Pozzi, Mark Lubell, Tanya Heikkila, Andrea K. Gerlak, & Pamela Rittelmeyer Science enterprises play an increasingly important role in shaping the policy process. While existing literature explores the nexus of science and decision-making, research is limited by a lack of empirical institutional analysis—specifically how science is shaped by and a feature of governance … Continue reading "…
