AI Governance for Business: Scoping AI Use Cases and Managing Risks

This project addresses the need for clear, accessible guidance on how organisations can safely integrate AI into their operations.

We surveyed the UK business ecosystem to identify the most significant challenges organisations face and how early adopters are addressing them. Based on these insights, we developed a suite of practical resources outlining key requirements, risks, and recommended risk mitigation strategies for responsible AI adoption.

In January 2025, we launched the first version of the AI Use Case Framework–a tool that organisations can use to develop structured profiles of their AI use cases and catalogue them consistently. The launch was complemented by four briefings where we applied the Framework to real-world AI use cases in the four BridgeAI priority sectors: agriculture, construction, creative industries, and transportation. We then used public feedback and new data collected from the UK business ecosystem to refine and expand the Framework, integrating it with critical guidance on risk identification and mitigation. Published in March 2026, this report presents the final version of the Framework.
