AI Ethics Committee
A cross-functional standing body within an organisation that reviews proposed + active AI deployments against the organisation's ethics policy. Typically includes representation from legal, risk, business, and (where applicable) affected-stakeholder groups. Distinct from the AI Risk Owner — the committee approves direction; the Risk Owner is accountable for execution.
