Most AI projects aren't failing because of bad technology. They're failing because organizations are moving too fast without the governance, privacy controls, and cross-functional culture to support them.

In this episode, host Chris sits down with Andre Samokish — privacy and AI governance expert — for a candid conversation on what responsible AI actually looks like inside an organization, and why the "the vendor has it covered" mindset is one of the most dangerous assumptions in tech right now.

What you'll learn:

• The difference between privacy governance, AI governance, and security — and why conflating them creates blind spots
• Why governance isn't a blocker — it's the only way to move fast safely
• The three pillars of true AI literacy for both technical and non-technical teams
• How to embed privacy by design into your product workflows before you go to market
• The biggest failure modes across data collection, model deployment, and organizational culture
• Tools, certifications, and communities to build your knowledge today
