Webinar - Governance is Not a Four-Letter-Word (but T-Rex is): Responsible AI as Business Enablement
Date: March 18, 2026 12pm-1pm
Speaker:
Bethany Singer-Baefsky
About the event:
The (data) scientists were so busy thinking about whether they could, they didn't stop to consider whether they should. And no electric fence is going to detain a determined pterodactyl. Step into JurAIssic World, where human-created artificial intelligence offers the promise of automation, augmentation, and improved productivity, while simultaneously introducing complex regulatory and data protection challenges. Though the creatures have escaped the park (after all, AI is undeniably everywhere), it's not too late for organizations to leverage responsible AI practices to proactively address these challenges, support enterprise AI initiatives, and drive strategic differentiation. This session will demonstrate that despite the baggage the term "governance" often carries, AI governance done right manages data security, privacy, and regulatory risk while reducing bottlenecks and red tape, and promoting trust, resilience, and business value.
