The Power of Agentic AI Policy

A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS YOUR ORGANIZATION CAN TRUST

When an AI agent can make decisions and act, policy becomes part of how the work runs.

This book gives business and technology leaders a practical method for deciding where agents can help, agreeing how they should operate, and building those decisions into everyday workflows. Foreword by Vint Cerf.

The Power of Digital Policy – The Handbook Behind My Work

A PRACTICAL ROADMAP FOR DURABLE DIGITAL, DATA & AI GOVERNANCE

Book: cover page and back, open book pages

The Power of Digital Policy distills years of work with organizations of all sizes into a clear, practical approach to digital governance. It shows you how to create policies that empower teams, comply with regulations such as GDPR and CCPA, reduce digital and social media risk, and support growth.
While the examples focus on websites, apps, and digital channels, the core framework has become the foundation for my later work on AI governance, data practices, and data provenance. The same principles that help you manage content, data, and digital operations today extend naturally to AI systems and automated decisions.
If you’re responsible for digital, data, or AI in your organization, this handbook gives you a step-by-step roadmap, from early policy maturity to a robust governance model that supports new technologies, new markets, and evolving regulatory expectations.

So, how can I help you?

Digital, data, and AI are no longer side projects; they’re how modern organizations operate. That means policies can’t just live in binders or legal docs. Over my career, I’ve helped organizations around the world translate regulations, ethical expectations, and technical realities into usable guardrails that teams actually follow.

Today, that includes everything from enterprise-wide digital policy frameworks to AI governance, data provenance, and vendor assessment.

See what I do

As the lead for creating the Data & Trusted AI Alliance’s Data Provenance Standards (now at OASIS), I worked with companies including GM, Humana, IBM, Johnson & Johnson, Mastercard, Transcarent, UPS and Walmart, to make sure they can answer a simple but critical question: Can we trust the data and AI systems we’re using, and prove it?
