AI Governance for Autonomous and Scalable Data Systems: Building Trust, Integrity, and Compliance in Enterprise Architecture
In the age of rapidly expanding data and automation, governance is no longer optional—especially when AI systems power critical decision-making. This session focuses on the intersection of AI governance, enterprise scalability, and data product architecture.
Drawing from real-world leadership in designing enterprise-grade AI systems at Vialto Partners and developing frameworks for government-led criminal justice platforms, I explore:
The design and operationalization of AI governance frameworks across highly regulated industries
Techniques for ensuring data integrity, lineage, and trust in AI-powered platforms
Integrating compliance and auditability into modern data product life cycles
The impact of responsible AI practices on societal outcomes and risk mitigation
Attendees will leave with actionable insights on building scalable AI solutions that are not just performant—but governed, ethical, and accountable.
