AI Governance and Risk Management » 🌐

My New Book for Chief AI Officers “Building Defensible AI Systems”
I just published Building Defensible AI Systems: Security and Compliance. It turns AI frameworks and regulations into controls, decision rights, and evidence you can defend. It covers dollar-based risk quantification, ISO/IEC 42001, the NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act documentation, red teaming, agent governance, and vendor risk. Each chapter stands alone, with real business cases and examples. [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
Published October 3, 2026. A practical reference on AI risk, controls, and audit-ready evidence.
I just published Building Defensible AI Systems: Security and Compliance. It turns AI frameworks and regulations into controls, decision rights, and evidence you can defend. It covers dollar-based risk quantification, ISO/IEC 42001, the NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act documentation, red teaming, agent governance, and vendor risk. Each chapter stands alone, with practical examples.
Why Did I Write a Book on Defensible AI Systems?
Someone asks for evidence, and the room goes quiet. The AI policy sits in a folder. The risk score is a color on a heat map. The vendor promised privacy, and nobody checked. The model is already in production.
AI is moving into business-critical decisions faster than organizations can assign ownership, set controls, and prove what they did. When a model acts without clear decision rights or technical guardrails, risk stops being a theory. It becomes financial exposure.
I wrote this book to close the gap between engineering teams and risk officers. It skips abstract ethics and high-level summaries of regulation. You get controls, code, and evidence workflows you can put to work.
By defensible, I mean something simple. When someone challenges a decision your AI system made, you can show who owned it, which controls applied, and what the records say.
What Will You Be Able to Do After Reading It?
- Put a dollar figure on AI risk. Replace heat maps with Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR) and Monte Carlo simulation, with working Python and R examples.
- Use the main frameworks as working methods. The book applies ISO/IEC 42001, ISO/IEC 23894, ISO/IEC 42005, and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework.
- Prepare EU AI Act evidence. Build technical documentation, fundamental rights impact assessments, transparency measures, logging, and post-market monitoring records.
- Find threats before attackers do. Run AI threat assessments and red team exercises mapped to MITRE ATLAS and the OWASP lists for large language models.
- Govern AI agents. Set identity, authority limits, and runtime control gates for autonomous systems.
- Control shadow AI and vendors. Test claims that a vendor does not train on your data, negotiate contract clauses, and write service levels you can enforce.
- Run the operating model. Define roles, accountability, approval and escalation workflows, and monitoring after deployment.
- Connect controls to value. Link governance to cost discipline, return on investment, and project delivery.
The engineering side gets real attention. You will find runtime control gates, cryptographic session identities, least-privilege scoping, automated control planes with loss limits and kill-switch triggers, and AI Bills of Materials. The EU AI Act material references draft harmonized standards, which will change, so check current official texts before you lock in a compliance decision.

Title
Building Defensible AI Systems: Security and Compliance (AI Governance): How to Assess Risks and Operationalize AI Controls
Author
Hernan Huwyler
Format
Kindle edition, English
Published
October 3, 2026
Size
2,267 pages, more than 80 chapters, 11 parts
Includes
Python and R code, checklists, RACI-style role guidance, model card and risk register field guides
Who Is Building Defensible AI Systems For?
I wrote it for four groups who need to work from the same facts.
- Chief AI Officers and AI governance leaders
- Governance, risk, and compliance teams, internal audit, and legal
- Chief information security officers, risk officers, and privacy leaders
- AI architects, machine learning engineers, and product owners
How Do You Read a 2,000-Page Reference Without Getting Lost?
You do not read it front to back. I built it as a modular library. Every chapter keeps its own title and stands alone, so you can start with the problem on your desk. Chapter codes and cross-references point you to related material, and each chapter appears once in its main part to avoid repeating text.
If you are…
Start with
Then go to
Building a governance program
Part 04 (operating models and RACI) and Part 02 (ISO/IEC 42001, NIST AI RMF)
Part 01 for quantitative risk metrics
Engineering secure AI systems
Part 06 (agents: identity and gates) and Part 07 (security, red teaming, OWASP and ATLAS)
Part 09 for data quality and integration
Preparing for an audit or regulatory review
Part 03 (EU AI Act and harmonized standards)
Part 01 for FAIR loss calculations, Part 07 for event logging
Managing vendors and procurement
Part 10 (procurement, contracts, third-party risk)
Part 05 for total cost of ownership and financial controls
What Makes It Different From Another Framework Summary?
It uses numbers where most risk programs use colors. A loss exposure in dollars lets a board compare an AI project with any other investment. A red cell on a heat map does not.
It gives you starting points you can run. The code, risk taxonomies, control gates, RACI matrices, and templates are meant for production use after you adapt them to your tech stack, jurisdiction, and risk appetite.
It treats governance as architecture. I believe governance should enable adoption. Clear ownership, measurable risk, and audit-ready evidence are what let AI move into production with confidence.
It is also honest about its limits. The book offers technical and operational guidance, not legal advice. Standards, enforcement dates, and draft specifications keep changing, so read the primary sources before you decide.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Building Defensible AI Systems about?
It is a practical technical reference for making AI governance work. It turns frameworks and regulations into controls, decision rights, and documentation across the full AI lifecycle, from business case and procurement to MLOps, red teaming, and continuous monitoring.
Does it cover the EU AI Act?
Yes. It covers technical documentation, fundamental rights impact assessments, transparency measures, logging, and post-market monitoring evidence.
Which frameworks does it use?
ISO/IEC 42001, ISO/IEC 23894, ISO/IEC 42005, the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, the OWASP lists for large language models, and MITRE ATLAS.
Does it include code?
Yes. You get Python and R examples for FAIR and Monte Carlo risk quantification, plus adaptable scripts and templates.
Is it legal advice?
No. It is technical and operational guidance. Confirm compliance decisions with current official sources and qualified counsel.
Who wrote it?
I did. I am an AI governance and quantitative risk practitioner with more than two decades of experience across multinational organizations. I teach AI governance and compliance as an executive professor at IE Business School, and I have trained more than 1,500 compliance, privacy, audit, and risk professionals.

Will the AI apocalypse come for us all? I can’t tell
you that it won’t, in the same way I can’t say an
asteroid won’t collide with us five years from now.
What I can say is that none of the people claiming
so inspire my confidence, none of them seem to
think particularly deeply about the world and
how it works, or offer plausible accounts of how
this could happen. GDP is not rising by double
digits, employment remains high, my Claude is
as stubbornly low-witted as ever. Every
prediction made by this cohort in my lifetime has
been wrong by orders of magnitude. I see little
reason to take them seriously.
More than that, I find these people and their
worldview profoundly boring. The Al apocalypse
is the sort of mono-maniacal junk-intellectualism
people resort to when they live a dull uneventful
life devoid of stimulating interests and
engagements. It is one-dimensional thought, like
that guy you know on Facebook who responds to
every thread with dreary rants about ULEZ. None

Polizei Hamburg will #KI mit Videos von Passant*innen trainieren
"Ab dem 1. September will die Polizei Hamburg eine künstliche Intelligenz (KI) mit Videos von Passanten an zwei öffentlichen Orten trainieren. Manche dieser Aufnahmen sollen monatelang gespeichert werden - das hat die# Polizei jetzt bestätigt.
Das neue polizeiliche KI-Überwachungssystem soll Gewalttaten schneller erkennen. Dafür muss es beispielsweise Faustschläge von normalen Armbewegungen unterscheiden können.
Aufzeichnungen von Hansaplatz und Hachmannplatz
Das lernt die KI laut der Polizei aber nur mithilfe von Aufzeichnungen echter Menschen. Die sollen von den Kameras am Hansaplatz und Hachmannplatz kommen. Jetzt hat die Polizei NDR 90,3 auf Anfrage mitgeteilt, dass die KI ab Anfang September mit den Aufnahmen gefüttert werden soll...."

Wie sich die deutsche Polizei von Peter Thiels Palantir-Software abhängig macht

Watching you – Die Welt von Palantir und Alex Karp
"Erstmals schaut ein Dokumentarfilm auf den US-Milliardär Alex Karp und seine so mysteriöse wie abgeschottete Firma #Palantir. Neben Elon Musk, seinem Mitgründer #PeterThiel und Sam Altman gilt der CEO von Palantir als einer der bedeutendsten Digital Leader. Wie sie profitiert Alex Karp von der Wahl Donald Trumps zum Präsidenten der USA. Doch hierzulande ist er noch recht unbekannt – und das obwohl auch deutsche Polizeibehörden mit der Palantir-Software “Gotham” arbeiten: Das erfolgreiche und gleichzeitig umstrittene Datenanalyse-Programm ist darauf spezialisiert, große Mengen an Daten zu bündeln und zu visualisieren, mit dem Ziel der Informationsgewinnung und Überwachung. “Gotham” kann über digitale Datenanalysen weltweit Profile einzelner Menschen erstellen. Die Software unterstützt Geheimdienste, Militär und Polizeibehörden bei der Terrorbekämpfung."

German police expands use of Palantir surveillance software
Police and spy agencies are keen to combat criminality and terrorism with artificial intelligence. But critics say the CIA-funded Palantir surveillance software enables "predictive policing."

„Schaufenster in die Zukunft der Polizeiarbeit“
An Passant*innen trainierte KI-Kameras in #Hamburg
'Ein Forschungsprojekt soll zeigen, wie sich soziale Beziehungen durch KI-gestützte Videoüberwachung verändern. In einem Zwischenstand berichten die Wissenschaftler*innen über Diskriminierung, Verdrängung und wie KI-basierte Überwachung automatisch zu ihrer Ausweitung führt.….'

'In Hamburg sollen ab dem 1. September die Bewegungen von Menschen auf dem Hansa- und dem Hachmannplatz zum KI-Training genutzt werden. Dazu werden ihre Abbilder in eine Art Strichmännchen umgewandelt. Angeblich sind die personenbezogenen Daten so vollumfänglich geschützt. Dabei können tatsächlich auch nicht-anonymisierte Daten zum KI-Training weitergegeben werden.
Am Hamburger Hansaplatz war das System in 2023 bereits drei Monate in Betrieb. Im Rahmen eines Forschungsprojekts, das noch bis Februar 2026 läuft, wurde offenkundig, dass die Technologie zu ihrer eigenen Ausweitung drängt. Gleichzeitig ist unklar, wie sie am Ende tatsächlich eingesetzt werden soll.'

Zeige mir, wie du gehst, und ich sage dir, wer du bist
Biometrische Gangerkennung soll Menschen aus der Ferne identifizieren können, selbst wenn sie ihr Gesicht verhüllen. Unser Überblick zeigt, wie die Technologie funktioniert und wo sie bereits eingesetzt wird. Menschenrechtler*innen fordern ein Verbot……
‚ Unser Gang ist besonders. Wir unterscheiden uns zum Beispiel darin, wie wir unsere Füße aufsetzen, unsere Arme beim Gehen schlenkern lassen oder wie lange unsere Schritte dauern. Solche Merkmale sind individuell und potenziell auch verräterisch, denn sie werden wie beiläufig bei der Videoüberwachung mit aufgezeichnet. Und anders als bei der biometrischen Gesichtserkennung kann man nicht einfach eine Maske aufsetzen, um den eigenen Gang zu verschleiern.‘

Ein Gutachten von Algorithm Watch zeigt, dass polizeiliche Foto-Fahndung im Internet nur mit illegalen Datenbanken funktionieren kann.
Polizeiliche #Gesichtserkennung
https://taz.de/Polizeiliche-Gesichtserkennung/!6120871/
'Innenminister Alexander #Dobrindt (CSU) will mit Gesichtserkennung im Internet nach unbekannten oder untergetauchten Straftäter:innen fahnden. Dazu müsste er eine gigantische Datenbank aufbauen, erläutert nun ein Gutachten im Auftrag der Organisation „Algorithm Watch“ (AW). „Eine solche Datenbank mit allen frei verfügbaren Fotos aus dem Internet wäre jedoch eindeutig rechtswidrig“, sagt AW-Geschäftsführer Matthias Spielkamp.
Die #Bundesregierung arbeitet an zwei Gesetzen „zur Stärkung digitaler Ermittlungsbefugnisse in der Polizeiarbeit“. Bekannt wurden sie im Sommer auch als Dobrindts „Sicherheitspaket“. Ein zentraler Punkt ist die Foto-Fahndung mit Gesichtserkennung. Anhand eines Fotos soll im Internet nach weiteren Fotos der gleichen Person gesucht werden. So könnten unbekannte Verdächtige oder untergetauchte Straftäter:innen gefunden werden, hofft Dobrindt.
„Biometrischer Abgleich mit öffentlich zugänglichen Daten aus dem Internet“ nennt sich die Methode in den Gesetzentwürfen.'

"Viele deutsche Städte wünschen sich Videoüberwachung mit KI-gestützter Verhaltenserkennung. Die wird seit sieben Jahren in Mannheim getestet. Ein Besuch der überwachten Orte zeigt, was diese Form der Überwachung mit den Menschen in einer Stadt macht – und wie schlecht die Technologie funktioniert."

"Viele Demonstrationen in #Mannheim starten oder enden auf dem Alten Messplatz. Am Rand des Platzes, an der Alten Feuerwache, hängen acht Überwachungskameras, weitere sind über den Platz verteilt. Insgesamt filmen 70 Kameras die Innenstadt, 46 davon sind an eine #KI-Verhaltenserkennung gekoppelt.
Das ist spätestens dann ein Problem, wenn Menschen hier demonstrieren wollen. David Werdermann, Jurist bei der Gesellschaft für Freiheitsrechte, sagt: „Die Versammlungsfreiheit lebt davon, dass Menschen ohne Angst und Einschüchterung ihre Meinung auf der Straße kundtun können.“ Videoüberwachung und KI-gestützte Auswertung könne Menschen von der Versammlungsteilnahme abhalten, „zumal sie sich wegen des Vermummungsverbots nicht gegen eine mögliche Erfassung wehren können“....."

Are #AI smart glasses the future, or have they gone too far? #BBC News
> #Meta has already sold millions of pairs, with supporters claiming they could become the next major computing platform, helping people make calls, translate languages, identify objects and navigate the world hands-free. #Privacy campaigners warn they could enable covert #surveillance and lawsuits have raised concerns about consent and data collection, and some venues have banned them altogether. Some critics have labelled them "spy glasses" and "pervert glasses". So are smart glasses a new surveillance threat? Or are we in danger of demonising a #technology with the potential to benefit millions?

A quotation from Douglas Adams
Generally, old media don’t die. They just have to grow old gracefully. Guess what, we still have stone masons. They haven’t been the primary purveyors of the written word for a while now of course, but they still have a role because you wouldn’t want a TV screen on your headstone.
Douglas Adams (1952–2001) English author, humorist, screenwriter
Broadcast (2010-10-11), Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Future, ep. 2, “Publishing,” BBC Radio 4
