Enterprise AI adoption is happening—whether IT is ready or not. As employees embrace AI tools to boost productivity, many organizations are waking up to the reality of "shadow AI": tools and agents operating beyond governance, security, and compliance frameworks. But what if this isn't just a risk—what if it's your next opportunity for strategic transformation?
This session offers a pragmatic framework for moving from reactive control to proactive enablement. You'll hear how leading organizations are redefining governance not as gatekeeping, but as a platform for safe experimentation, dynamic policy enforcement, and cross-functional collaboration. From policy design to deployment models, we’ll walk through practical steps to surface shadow AI activity, assess risk, and build adaptive governance systems that evolve alongside AI adoption.
Key Takeaways:
- Map the Landscape: How to identify shadow AI usage across your organization and assess its impact.
