GOVERNING GIANTS
Enterprise Risk Management's Role in AI Governance
Governing Giants Launches: A Groundbreaking Guide to AI Governance for Risk Leaders - New Book Equips C-Suite Executives, Risk Managers, and AI Professionals with a NIST-Aligned Framework for Enterprise AI Governance
As artificial intelligence continues its rapid integration into critical infrastructure and enterprise operations, a new book is providing essential guidance on how to govern it responsibly. Governing Giants: Enterprise Risk Management’s Role in AI Governance by Nicholas Friedman is now available in print and Kindle formats via Amazon.
This timely release delivers a step-by-step roadmap for implementing ethical, compliant, and resilient AI governance structures—grounded in the NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF 1.0) and tailored for real-world organizations.
“AI isn’t just a tool anymore—it’s a force multiplier,” Friedman explains. “But without proactive governance, that force can quickly become a liability. This book is designed to help business leaders implement controls, oversight, and risk strategies that align with both compliance mandates and corporate values.”
Blending case studies, fictional narrative, and practical templates, Governing Giants shows how traditional risk disciplines like ERM, compliance, cybersecurity, and IT/OT governance must evolve to address AI’s ethical and operational risks.
Key topics include:
- Building AI governance frameworks aligned with NIST AI RMF
- Establishing AI risk maturity using the AI Governance Maturity Model (AGMM)
- Implementing automated monitoring and compliance (AMAC)
- Maturing your AI Governance Process Model (AIGOV)
- Integrating cross-functional teams, KPIs/KRIs, and ethical guidelines
