In her latest Industry Today byline, Kelly Schindler explores why AI should be treated as a core operating system — not an experiment — with the same discipline applied to quality, safety and performance.

As AI moves into critical operations, the differentiator won’t be deployment alone. It will be the ability to scale AI with governance, measurement and accountability.

AI may reduce manual accounting errors, but it’s not reducing risk — it’s relocating it.

The biggest AI risk isn’t how smart the model is — it’s whether anyone owns it.

The takeaway: AI governance can’t live in policy alone. It needs defined authority, oversight and accountability for outcomes.
