AI Is Artificial. You Are the Intelligence: Building Defensible AI Governance in the Age of Autonomous Decision-Making

As organizations race to adopt artificial intelligence, many are focused on implementation while overlooking the governance structures required to manage risk, accountability, and trust. The greatest challenge is not acquiring AI, it is creating visibility into where AI operates, how decisions are made, and who remains accountable when outcomes impact customers, employees, and business operations.

In this executive briefing, international award-winning technology executive Teri Green introduces a practical framework for Defensible AI Governance built around her T.E.S.T. methodology: Touch, Execute, Store, and Trust. Attendees will learn how to identify Shadow AI, evaluate AI systems in under 60 seconds, establish defensible controls aligned to the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, and implement governance that scales innovation without sacrificing accountability.

This session provides technology leaders, executives, and board members with actionable strategies to move beyond AI policies and into measurable governance practices that create transparency, reduce organizational risk, and build trust in AI-enabled decision-making.

Because in the era of artificial intelligence, trust is not a feature; it is an outcome of governance.
