AI Governance Framework Update:
The Hourglass Model of
Organizational AI Governance (2026 Edition)

FLAIG’s mission was to further iterate and update the AI governance framework for GenAI needs. The framework contains actionable principles for organizations using GenAI in their critical processes on organizational level as well as a part of daily GenAI lifecycle management processes.

This piece of work is a fundamental development needed to bring ethical GenAI theories into real world practices.

The governance framework development was conducted in two phases:

1) Review of the state of art and building first draft version of governance practices to be introduced with FLAIG business partners.

2) Testing the design artefact with real world data in co-operation with consortium business partners and other selected external stakeholders.
