AI guardrails help ensure that an organization’s AI tools, and their application in the business, reflect the organization’s standards, policies, and values.But just as guardrails on the highway don’t eliminate the risk of injuries or fatalities, AI guardrails don’t guarantee that AI systems will be completely safe, fair, compliant, and ethical. For the best results, companies can implement AI guardrails along with other procedural controls (for example, AI trust frameworks, monitoring and compliance software, testing and evaluation practices), as well as a proper AI operations technology stack, which scales the governance of AI across an organization.
