This session is part of the Berlin Cybersecurity Social community’s monthly meetup, where security professionals, leaders, and enthusiasts come together to share knowledge and connect.

This edition of the Berlin Cybersecurity Social will be a special networking-focused evening hosted in collaboration with Allianz and ESMT Berlin.
**Lighting Talk**
You Can't Buy AI Governance.
AI governance isn't a tool you install, a checklist you complete, or a budget line you approve. It's the hardest thing in any organisation: getting people across every function to actually change how they work.
This talk intends to cut through the noise and challenges the most common misconceptions holding organisations back:
Join us to discuss:
Why AI governance is NOT compliance.
Why not a set of tools only solves governance challenges.
Why a framework nobody follows is worse than no framework at all.
How effective AI Governance gives leadership the clarity to make informed decisions.
