• B. Promoting a positive return on investment (ROI) from AI projects
• C. Defining clear roles and responsibilities for AI development, use, and oversight
• D. Ensuring controls over AI are designed well and operate effectively

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The primary objective of AI governance is to define clear roles and responsibilities for AI development, use, and oversight, ensuring accountability and structured management. While implementing compliance and ethics controls, promoting ROI, and ensuring effective design of controls are important, they serve as supporting elements rather than the core focus of governance.
