​At the intersection of AI innovation and accountability, companies must preserve both trust and the bottom line.

​This session brings finance and technology leaders together to explore the real benefits of AI alongside critical risks: bad data, opaque models, cyber exposure, and evolving compliance requirements.

​We will examine how CFOs are redefining risk and what effective governance actually looks like in practice. Attendees will leave with pointed questions for their CEOs, boards, CIOs, and vendors, plus a clear framework for evaluating new AI tools.

​​Panelists:

​​Brett Wilson, Co-Founder & Managing Partner at IOmergent

​Dan Rochkind, CFO at Lerer Hippeau

​Sanj Sanampudi, CEO at Numeral
