Does AI Need Guardrails?

← Back to Schedule

Over the past few years, artificial intelligence (AI) has evolved from a speculative technology into the fundamental engine driving modern business. AI has optimized supply chains, hyper-personalizes customer experiences, and generates creative solutions at unprecedented speeds.

However, as this technology embeds itself deeper into our enterprise architecture, a critical tension has emerged between the relentless pace of innovation and the urgent need for responsible implementation like, perhaps, guardrails.

In this session, our panel will unpack the complexities of AI governance in the real world.
