Automobiles and children’s programming built clear rules and gained public confidence. Social media failed to, and the consequences reached our businesses, our institutions, and our personal lives.

AI now faces the same tipping point. It is powerful, everywhere, and learning faster than the rules written for it. Will it become a trusted partner in progress, or the next technology that divides us?

The Keynote

Bryan Rotella delivers the keynote that helps leaders navigate this moment. He explains why AI is not software you install. It is your organization’s newest co-worker, and nobody onboarded it. Nobody told it what is expected, what is off-limits, or who is watching.

Bryan opens with the real-world cases that make the stakes personal. He walks the room through how automobiles and children’s television earned trust through simple, visible rules, and how social media lost it by skipping them. He gives leaders a shared vocabulary for AI risk, built on The 3 S’s of AI Governance: Simple, Seen, Supervised. The room leaves speaking the same language about the same risks.
