While we've all heard about Governance for many years, it frequently has a command-and-control, bureaucratic overtone to it. Then along comes Artificial Intelligence and with it, the call for AI Governance.

In this session, former CIO and industry expert Greg Sanker discusses governance in the modern organization. Is governance a naughty word? Does it have to be bureaucratic? Do I need AI Governance?
