About the Session:
While your competitors are still debating AI policies, leading companies are turning governance into a competitive advantage—and the market is noticing. 2026's defining question isn't "Can we deploy AI?" It's "Can we scale AI across the enterprise without blowing up?" Boards are demanding answers. Regulators are watching. One misstep costs millions in market cap. In this collaborative webcast with the DigiRisk and RTE SIGs, you'll discover: - The governance capabilities that separate leaders from laggards - and what many companies are doing wrong
- How to navigate legal, risk, and compliance without becoming the bottleneck - bust the myth that "AI Governance Kills Innovation"
- A board presentation framework that works - connecting AI investments directly to revenue growth, cost reduction, and risk mitigation
- Real obstacles and how top performers overcome them - from data disasters to organizational resistance
Come away knowing how to align the C-suite around value creation, not just risk management. About the Speakers:
