The Definitive Guide to
AI Leadership
Trusted by Design is not a technical manual. It is a leadership manifesto. It provides the frameworks, language, and confidence CEOs need to take accountability for their most powerful technology.
This book is written for leaders who will be held accountable for AI outcomes they must still explain, defend, and own.
THE METHODOLOGY
The Velinor Trusted AI Framework
Most AI projects fail not because of technology, but because of a lack of strategic clarity. The Velinor Framework bridges the gap between executive intent and technical execution.
1. Purpose
Defining the "Why." Before a single line of code is written, leaders must articulate the strategic intent. Is this AI for efficiency, innovation, or competitive advantage? Without purpose, AI is just expensive complexity.
2. Leadership
Assigning the "Who." Accountability cannot be outsourced to an algorithm or a vendor. This section details the governance structures required to ensure human control remains absolute.
3. Capability
Building the "How." Trust is an engineering challenge. We explore the technical pillars of explainability, resilience, and security that turn "black boxes" into transparent systems.
4. Outcomes
Measuring the "What." How do we define success? How do we defend our decisions to regulators and the public? This is the ROI of trust.
