About this session:
While generative AI can propel organizations to be more efficient, effective and produce added value, the lack of clarity and understanding about how to quickly adopt AI models, govern usage and have the flexibility to scale are creating delays in implementing AI guidelines and guardrails. As AI rapidly evolves, taking a lackadaisical approach may come with ramifications.
GRC professionals must lead governance programming to help their organizations move fast, but safely to avoid the unintended consequences.
Hear from guest speaker, Forrester Senior Analyst Cody Scott, alongside Jay Jamison, President of Product and Technology at LogicGate, for a conversation on how to efficiently adopt AI with the needed safety protections and protocols to govern successfully, and carve out a competitive advantage.
