AI ownership often looks clear in meetings, then breaks down when decisions move into real workflows. This episode examines why fragmented authority turns promising pilots into slow, duplicated, and politically complex AI programmes across the enterprise.

It explores how decision rights shape AI scale.

TLDR / At a Glance

• Fragmented AI accountability
 • Decision rights over job titles
 • Centralised, federated, and hybrid models
 • Governance without slow consensus
 • Executive sponsorship and escalation routes
 • Ownership maps for enterprise scale

The key lesson is that AI scales when authority, accountability, and value ownership are explicit.
