As artificial intelligence adoption accelerates, consent is no longer just a checkbox; it is a legal and ethical battleground. Companies are being sued at an unprecedented rate over unclear, inadequate or misleading AI data practices, and litigation continues to climb across industries. This panel brings together leaders from government, energy and AI governance to explore how companies and institutions can proactively reduce risk and protect both users and the business. By the end of the session, privacy, security and risk professionals will walk away with actionable approaches to make AI consent legally sound, ethically robust and operationally resilient before it becomes a courtroom headline.

What you will learn:

·       How to design consent processes that are transparent, enforceable and user-friendly for complex AI applications, while identifying common pitfalls that trigger lawsuits and regulatory scrutiny.
·       How to integrate consent risk management into broader AI governance frameworks, with real-world examples from multiple sectors demonstrating proactive strategies that reduce legal exposure.
