Managing AI Risk Without Losing Momentum

In this Science & Tech session, our guests will share what they’re seeing on the front lines of AI adoption: where organizations are quietly putting valuable data at risk, how legal and contractual issues show up in day-to-day use, and what it actually looks like to put some basic guardrails in place while still moving fast. The conversation will be practical, concrete, and business-focused rather than technical: real stories, simple questions to ask inside your own organization, and ideas you can bring back to your team the next morning.
