Governing Data to Govern AI
Key Takeaways:- Understand how data governance and AI governance are connected—and why context matters.
- Learn how automation can improve data governance and support scalable AI systems.
- Discover how strong data governance helps enable SOC 2–compliant AI products.
Description
AI systems are only as trustworthy as the data behind them. But data isn’t trustworthy without context. As organizations scale AI into core products and processes, effective governance must start with data—covering quality, access, lineage, usage, and accountability. Getting this right is essential not only for performance and trust, but also for meeting growing compliance expectations.
In this panel interview webinar, Sarah Levy, CEO at Euno, Somesh Saxena, Founder & President at Pantomath, Stijn Christiaens, Chief Data Citizen and Co-Founder at Collibra, and Taylor Hersom, CEO at Eden Data, will explore how data governance and AI governance fit together in practice. You’ll learn how teams are automating data processes to strengthen governance, reduce risk, and support compliant AI development—while enabling innovation rather than slowing it down.
