The AI Risks No One's Talking About: What Business Professionals Need to Know

Most AI training covers the basics. This session goes deeper: why AI makes sophisticated, confident-sounding errors that slip past smart professionals every day, how context window limitations and knowledge cutoff issues create hidden risk, and why expertise alone doesn't protect you. But awareness isn't enough—attendees learn a verification framework they can build into their daily workflow. The session closes with organizational implications: if individuals face these risks, imagine what your organization needs to consider.

Ideal for: Practitioners, professional development programs, industry associations, all-staff sessions, CLE programs

Format: Keynote, breakout session, or workshop

The Human Side of AI Governance: Building a Framework That Protects Your Organization

AI adoption is accelerating—with or without organizational oversight. But governance isn't just about policies and tools; it's about people. This session gives leadership teams a practical framework built on four pillars: education that builds AI literacy, policy that sets clear boundaries, verification protocols that catch errors before they leave the firm, and accountability structures that define who's responsible at every stage. Attendees leave understanding the liabilities they face, the human behaviors that create risk, and the concrete steps to move from awareness to action.

Ideal for: Executive teams, compliance professionals, risk managers, department heads, leadership retreats

Format: Keynote, breakout session, or half-day workshop

Layered Governance for AI Risk Mitigation: Where Your Organization Fits in the Upstream-to-Downstream Flow

Not all AI risk is yours to manage, but some of it is. This session maps the three layers of AI governance: what's controlled at the system level (upstream), what your organization controls through tool selection, data integration, workflow, and policy, and what happens at the user level through training and daily practice. Leaders leave with clarity on where to invest resources and where to stop chasing risks outside their control.

Ideal for: Business leaders, partners, executive teams, compliance officers, AI oversight committees, professional services conferences

Format: Keynote, board presentation, or strategic planning session
