Federal AI Governance
AI Governance Board
The cross-functional body OMB Memorandum M-25-21 requires every CFO Act agency to convene under the chairmanship of the agency CAIO. The board reviews proposed high-impact AI use cases, approves or denies the use case for production, oversees compliance with the minimum risk management practices, and signs off on the agency annual AI use case inventory before publication. Required participants include the CIO, CISO, Chief Data Officer, Chief Privacy Officer, General Counsel, and senior program officials from the mission components deploying AI. Cabinet-level agencies were required to convene the board by August 12, 2025.
