CIOSurge - Executive Forum "Realizing AI ROI: Governing the Ecosystem Behind It"
Join CIOSurge in Los Angeles on October 22nd for a private executive dinner for Chief Security Officers, Chief Information Officers, and senior IT executives.
Panel Discussion: Realizing AI ROI: Governing the Ecosystem Behind It
As enterprises rely more heavily on third-party platforms, outsourced workflows, and agentic AI, the question is no longer just how to manage risk at the edges. It is how to govern the systems, providers, and digital agents that increasingly act with decision-making authority inside the business.
This discussion will explore how leaders can build accountability into AI-enabled and third-party ecosystems, reduce hidden dependencies, and rethink governance in an environment where policy enforcement is no longer exclusively human.
