STAR (Standards for Technology in Automotive Retail) today released its first AI Governance whitepaper designed specifically for franchised automobile dealers. STAR’s AI Governance Guidance also provides clear guardrails to deploy AI responsibly in retail automotive. "This work stands apart not only for its practical overview of AI use cases in automotive retail, but for addressing the governance, risk, and operational realities dealerships must confront as AI adoption accelerates." "As dealers race to adopt AI, STAR is a valuable resource to help dealerships embrace AI with responsible innovation." STAR’s AI Governance Guidance includes checklists and practical examples to make adoption straightforward for any store— regardless of whether it’s a single point or large dealer group.
