AI Governance: A Practical Health Check
Live from the Tech Alley stage, June 24th, 2026.
Most organizations adopt AI faster than they govern it. The tools arrive, people start using them, and the question of who is accountable for what the AI does never quite gets asked. By the time it matters, the answer is already whatever happened by default.
I gave a talk on this at Tech Alley Henderson, a practical health check on putting AI to work inside a business without giving up control, accountability, or your data. It covers where the real liability sits, including the Air Canada chatbot case, where a Canadian tribunal held the company responsible for what its bot told a customer. It covers Shadow AI, the unapproved tools already running inside most organizations. And it covers what your free, paid, and enterprise AI accounts actually protect, because the difference is in the contract, not the interface.
If you are responsible for decisions, standards, or outcomes in an organization that uses AI, this is the orientation.
A note on what this is. This is the foundational overview, the wide version. The Evolving Mindset goes the other way each week. Examining the structural problems, in writing, for the people who own the decision. If the talk is the map, the writing is the turns you actually have to take.
