Balancing innovation with responsible oversight is one of the toughest challenges facing IT leaders today. As organizations deploy AI tools with varying maturity, employees often turn to their own solutions, creating a rise in Bringâ€'Yourâ€'Ownâ€'AI (BYOAI), shadow systems, unmonitored data flows, and compliance risks.
This session explores how IT can build a governance model that protects the organization without limiting the curiosity and creativity that make AI valuable. We will look at how to separate tactical agent building from longâ€'term strategic initiatives, how Agent 365 can serve as a centralized registry for visibility and oversight, and how to choose between automatic deployments and optâ€'in release models.
We will also discuss how systemâ€'level security policies can complement HRâ€'led acceptableâ€'use guidance to promote responsible adoption rather than restriction. Additional guidance covers data readiness, privacy, and safeguarding sensitive information.
Attendees will leave with practical approaches for navigating this AI governance dilemma in a way that empowers the workforce while keeping the organization safe.
As a Microsoft Partner, this session will be valuable both for your own organization, as well as your clients. Armed with this knowledge, you will be seen as a smart, responsible AI advocate and not someone who is just furthering the AI hype-cycle.
