Shadow AI! Innovation Without Oversight

This talk will be on the rapid scaling of AI without sufficient oversight, and how this impacts businesses that must meet compliance standards while simultaneously adopting AI to replace more expensive SaaS tools and even human labor.

How can companies successfully signal trust to their customers in this environment?

The real risk isn’t AI itself; it’s the growing gap between how AI is actually being used and how (or if) it’s documented, controlled, and defensible.

In this session, we’ll dig into real-world moments where AI use has already created legal, reputational, and operational headaches - and unpack what “defensible AI” actually looks like beyond the buzzwords.

You’ll walk away knowing exactly where the hidden risks exist and how to get ahead of them without killing innovation.
