As AI systems are deployed at scale across sectors, companies face a rapidly evolving landscape shaped by technological innovation, regulatory shifts, geopolitical tensions and societal expectations. Preparing for what is ahead can feel like attempting to navigate an uncharted frontier with uncertain rules, risks and rewards. As companies develop and execute their AI strategy, they must calculate risks for AI adoption and governance. This dynamic panel will explore how companies across the public and private sectors are redefining their risk posture and governance models in response to accelerating change. We will examine the emerging tensions between innovation and oversight, opportunity and obligation, speed and safety. Panelists will offer insights into topics such as companies’ ability to successfully navigate unexpected changes and mitigate interconnected risks, their recalibration of AI strategies to address cross-cutting risks such as bias, misuse, model drift and third-party liability, and the capacity to comply with evolving global AI regulations.
What you will learn:
- A broader view of the forces reshaping global AI governance and how AI governance enables companies’ overall business strategy.
- Practical considerations to fit AI risk management into a company’s broader enterprise risk management portfolio.
- Strategies to identify, prioritize and navigate shifting AI regulations and operational complexities shaping the global AI landscape.
