The Role of Citizen Development and the Need for AI Governance

Citizen developers mark a significant shift toward democratizing technology. When they create applications and solutions that address specific business needs, they increase the adoption and impact of GenAI.

Because citizen development extends capabilities beyond traditional software development teams, it requires a robust governance model to help accelerate digital transformation and innovation without sacrificing compliance.

AI governance aligns GenAI initiatives with organizational objectives, ethical standards, and regulatory requirements. It encompasses the policies, procedures, and controls necessary to guide the development, deployment, and continuous monitoring of AI technologies and uphold the highest standards of patient safety, data integrity, and compliance.

Best Practices for AI Governance and Citizen Development

AI governance extends the principles of Quality Management Systems (QMSs) to the challenges and opportunities presented by GenAI and ensures that your initiatives are executed in a controlled and quality-focused environment.

AI best practices and guardrails that ensure GenAI technologies are developed, deployed, and used responsibly include:

Best practices

  • Ethical AI use
  • Data governance
  • Regulatory compliance
  • Built-in compliance
  • Continuous learning and adaptation
  • Cross-functional governance
  • Transparent documentation and reporting
  • Stakeholder engagement and training
  • Validation and testing protocols

Guardrails

  • AI decision-making limitations
  • Data privacy and security measures
  • Bias detection and mitigation
  • Emergency stop and intervention protocols

Citizen Development, Proofs of Concept, and ProcessX

While building innovative AI solutions, it’s important to maintain control over development activities in the software development lifecycle (SDLC), including iterative releases in your proof of concept and in the development and deployment of your solution.

Application lifecycle management (ALM) and validation lifecycle management (VLM) in ProcessX combine people, processes, and technology to oversee the initial planning and development of a software application and ensure that you maintain proper GxP controls.
