Thought leader and AI SaaS CEO Cindy Gordon makes a compelling case that executives and company boards need to pay much closer attention to how their organizations deploy AI. With the increased regulatory attention and the drumbeat of exposures, the uppermost echelons of corporations must learn to examine how they manage risk around their fast-scaling systems. It is essential that these leaders educate themselves about how AI and ML work in their organizations and ensure that they have explainability built into their governance functions. She also argues for the importance of leadership engaging in a broader discussion about the need for explainable AI across industries and geographies.
