Governance, Law & Compliance
Compute governance
Rules and oversight about who can access and use computing power for AI.
Example
An organization sets additional checks for very large AI training jobs.
Why people use it
It helps organizations decide who can use AI computing resources and for what purposes.
What you'll hear
“Who can approve a very large training run?”
What this means for you
Clarify what the limits are intended to achieve and how their effects will be checked.
Can you control it?
Yes
Yes. Organizations can set spending limits, access rules and approval responsibilities for their own computing resources.
Common questions
- Does compute governance directly measure all AI risk?
- No. Compute is one relevant factor and an imperfect stand-in for capability.
- Can limits affect legitimate research too?
- Yes. Restrictions may reduce useful access as well as access that creates concern.
- Does controlling large computers cover every AI use?
- No. Smaller systems, shared services and different methods can also be relevant.
