Policy regulation and strictly restrict exposing PII data would require involving HR/Compliance team to ensure AI Agents/discussions are not exceeding the limitations, which could put the org data at risk.

Critical. Absolutely critical for HR to co-lead if not lead with IT expertise supporting them. Putting aside the argument that 20th century functions like HR, IT, Finance are soon to be deprecated and that Fusion teams are the new organisational paradigm, we are talking about cognitive agents, human capital impact, new roles, reskilling, and everything like that. There is HR stamped all over AI and whoever starts to lead AI in your organisation very very quickly needs to work as one with the other.

Probably your intent to involve HR is more from managing Personally Identifiable Information (PII) data. If that's the case, then involve your privacy management or Information Security team. Otherwise, i don't feel there is need to involve HR unless the users of AI solution is HR team.

Not necessary unless you are hiring AI resources. Definitely keep Legal in the loop

I am interested in people who have tried generative AI coding projects.  In your experience, are there project attributes that make generative AI coding capabilities a "good fit"?  Are there project attributes that are likely indicators that generative AI will not result in something useful?  I would think complexity of requirements is a big factor.  If the complexity of the project or its requirements is low - I assume genAI coding can get you within the ballpark.  For instance, logic stores: if your project has critical business logic spread out all over the place and not centralized I think that generative AI would not be able to make sufficient sense of that.
