Prepare the board before the decision arrives.

Governed Delegation helps boards and senior leaders decide how authority should be shared between people and increasingly capable AI — without losing human judgement, accountability or control.

When AI moves from assisting people to acting for the organisation, governance becomes a question of authority.

The practical issue is no longer simply what the technology can do. Boards need a defined position on what may be delegated, what must remain human, what evidence actions must create and when authority must return to a person.

TaskDefine exactly what the AI is being asked to do.

AuthoritySpecify what it may recommend, decide, execute or commit.

EvidenceDefine what its actions must record and preserve.

Human controlSet the conditions for intervention, override and return of authority.

Governing principle

Autonomy should expand only as the control architecture around it becomes stronger.
