Ethical AI as a Competitive Advantage: How Privacy Leaders Accelerate Innovation

Zach Burnett, CEO, RadarFirst

Dominique Shelton Leipzig, AIGP, CIPP/US, CEO, Global Data Innovation

Enterprises today face a paradox: Boards demand defensible compliance with rapidly evolving artificial intelligence and privacy laws, while technology teams push for faster innovation. Too often, governance is seen as the brake. But what if privacy and compliance could become the accelerator?

This session examines how companies and institutions can leverage ethical AI as a competitive advantage by integrating observability, governance and compliance directly into their innovation process. We will share practical examples of how companies set up committees, use consistent frameworks and monitor AI systems to stay aligned with global laws, detect issues early and give their boards confidence that innovation is happening responsibly.

What you will learn:

• How monitoring for drift and deviations ensures AI systems remain ethical, defensible and compliant.
• Frameworks and processes that turn compliance into a catalyst for faster innovation.
• Foundational governance principles to make directors comfortable with AI adoption.
• How ethical AI builds trust with regulators, customers and investors while enabling product innovation.
• Lessons from standing up AI governance committees, codifying global obligations and embedding compliance into the technology development lifecycle.
