Table 7

Summary

AI promises transformative opportunities, but it also introduces new risks — from bias and compliance gaps to security threats and reputational challenges. For executives, the hard part isn’t just managing these issues, but communicating them clearly to boards, teams, and stakeholders without slipping into hype or fear. In this session, we’ll share approaches to framing AI risks in business language, highlighting possibilities without overselling, and striking the right balance between transparency and confidence. Whether you’re guiding adoption in your company or advising leadership at the highest level, you’ll walk away with stories, strategies, and tools to communicate AI with clarity and impact.
