Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is fundamentally changing the way businesses operate. About 50% of CEOs say they’re already integrating generative AI into their products and services. Business leaders are excited about the potential of AI, yet they are still concerned about potential risks like AI hallucinations, bias, and data security issues. Additionally, they are closely monitoring the rapidly evolving regulatory landscape, calling on organizations to ensure their AI is utilized safely, transparently, and ethically. Businesses need to be confident that the AI they’re using for mission-critical decisions and outputs is trustworthy and reliable. Governing Large Language Models (LLMs) is complex, and organizations need to proactively detect and mitigate risk associated with AI to avoid reputational damage, audits, fines, and litigation. Consumers will be directly impacted by the decisions that businesses make in this moment. Phaedra discusses the key challenges she’s hearing from global businesses and governments regarding AI governance and ethics. She can also discuss practical ways organizations can set up guardrails around generative AI to mitigate risks and ensure AI solutions integrate diverse human perspectives and experiences.

said in an editorial, “Are the bad guys really going to report?” 32,000,000
American businesses now have to comply.
