Who Should Be Leading AI Strategy in the Enterprise?
Most of the demand for AI innovation is coming from the business, but most of the knowledge about AI typically sits in IT including the know-how on quantum computing and NLP. What are the implications for AI strategy driven by either business or IT and how can companies avoid the inevitable blind spots that will arise as a result?

Panel Discussion
Beyond a Governance Framework: Regulating Transparent and Responsible AI
While governance frameworks are a crucial step towards ensuring the ethical and responsible use of AI, they often lack the teeth to enforce compliance and address emerging challenges. To truly regulate transparent and responsible AI, we need a multi-faceted approach that combines technical, legal, and societal measures.
