What is an AI Center of Excellence?
A AI Center of Excellence (AI CoE) is a unit that brings together methods, standards, platforms, and expertise in AI, supports departments, and ensures quality and governance. The Operating Model describes how decision-making, implementation, and operation of AI are organized.
- 01A growing number of AI tools and initiatives without central oversight
- 02Unclear lines of responsibility between IT, business units, data protection, and compliance
- 03Regulatory and Internal Audit Requirements
- 04Tools have been introduced, but usage remains low
