Session: From Policy to Practice: Operationalizing AI Governance for Responsible Innovation
AI is now embedded in the systems that shape how we work, hire, learn, and connect. Yet too often, enterprises view AI governance as a roadblock rather than a driver of responsible innovation. Without cross-functional collaboration and strong organizational literacy, governance frameworks remain theoretical, disconnected from the realities of daily decision-making.This session provides practical guidance for executive leaders on operationalizing AI governance so that it becomes an engine for ethical, inclusive, and scalable innovation. Drawing on real-world examples from HR-tech and enterprise AI, Marina Boudreau, AI governance expert, will share actionable strategies to:
- Build oversight structures that cut across legal, technical, and business teams
- Embed AI literacy at every organizational level to support risk awareness and informed adoption
- Empower women leaders to advance governance initiatives that deliver impact, not just compliance
- Prepare the workforce for the profound changes AI is bringing to the future of work
Attendees will leave with a playbook for moving from policy to practice, ensuring AI governance is not only a safeguard but also a catalyst for trust, resilience, and competitive advantage.
