Room 145A, Convention Center
Advanced level
Companies and institutions are accelerating their use of artificial intelligence across legal, risk and compliance functions, but most still struggle to translate strong governance frameworks into consistent, real world execution. This session brings together leaders in compliance, legal and AI transformation to explore how privacy by design and AI by default principles come together inside modern workflows. Panelists will share how cross functional teams can close the gap between policy and practice, build governance models that scale, and improve decision quality without slowing innovation. Attendees will leave with practical tools and patterns they can directly apply from workflow level controls to human centered adoption strategies.
What you will learn:
• How to align privacy and AI governance into a unified framework.
• How to embed governance into workflows and solution design.
• How to balance compliance rigor with innovation speed.
