A steering committee is responsible for enterprise-wide strategic decisions, technology alignment, investment prioritization, and governance oversight.

AAIA states that AI implementation roadmaps must be driven by a group that can evaluate:

Organizational strategy

Technology readiness

Budget allocations

Risk appetite

Regulatory obligations

Cross-functional impacts

The risk committee (A) focuses only on risk, not implementation. Product management (C) has a narrow scope. Internal audit (D) evaluates controls, not roadmaps.

Thus, the steering committee is the appropriate authority.
