Not Just Theory: Real Stories from AI Governance Leaders Doing the Work Today
Thursday, 18 Sept.
11:30 - 12:30 EDT
Intermediate level
Hear from the President of the first AI governance platform company, a state CIO shaping AI deployment at scale in the public sector and the Global Leader of AI and Data Privacy compliance at a global premium entertainment company how they navigate commercial and consumer data risks in an evolving landscape. Learn what operational AI governance looks like when it is in production, under legal scrutiny and scaling responsibly.
Together, they will unpack the most pressing challenges in AI governance, from privacy regulations and litigation threats to sector-specific risk profiles and practical implementation barriers. You will hear how AI governance demands diverge between the public and private sectors, managing the complexity of operational and regulatory tasks and how companies are evolving policies, practices and accountability structures in response.
What you will learn:
- Understanding the evolving risk landscape: privacy, bias, legal exposure and accountability challenges across sectors.
- Navigating legal and regulatory pressures, including how litigation, legislation and compliance obligations are shaping governance strategies.
- Implementing effective governance at scale using lessons from real-world platform deployment, and how to align legal, technical and executive leadership.
