Information Governance
Kingston Council is developing governance frameworks for AI adoption, as other councils review information governance.
Kingston Council is developing robust governance frameworks to manage risks associated with Artificial Intelligence (AI) adoption, as its Audit, Governance and Standards Committee reviewed its AI strategy in September 2026. The council is taking a measured approach, focusing on AI tools that enhance efficiency while being mindful of staff access to consumer AI tools.
Other councils are also reviewing their information governance, which is the framework for managing information within an organisation. Lambeth Council's Audit and Risk Committee reviewed its information governance, internal audit performance, and counter fraud activities in July 2026. Haringey Council's Audit Committee was also scheduled to review governance arrangements in July 2026.
