Beyond Blind Trust: What It Really Takes to Scale AI Responsibly
See the Conversation Shaping AI Right NowA straight‑talking, real‑world session with leaders from NatWest Group, Leeds Building Society, Dufrain and DataIQ.
Why watch
AI isn’t failing because the technology isn’t ready, it’s failing because organisations are still wrestling with governance, risk, adoption, literacy, data foundations and culture.
This session gets straight to the realities of scaling AI responsibly, wherever you are in your journey.
Speakers
- Karen Dewar: Chief Data & Analytics Officer, NatWest Group
- Carole Roberts: Director of Technology & Data, Leeds Building Society
- Isobel Daley: Head of AI, Dufrain
- Hosted by David Reed | LinkedIn: Chief Knowledge Officer, DataIQ
What you’ll walk away with:
- Why AI gets stuck and how leaders are breaking the pattern. The real blockers slowing AI at scale and what organisations are doing to move past POCs into production with confidence.
- How to operate fast and stay in control: Where experienced leaders draw the line, set risk thresholds, and use “should we?” to avoid the costly mistakes others make.
- How to catch bias early before it impacts customers, colleagues or reputation. What bias looks like in real outputs and why human judgement and diverse teams remain the ultimate safeguard.
Who this session is for
Leaders responsible for making AI actually work inside complex organisations, across data, AI, governance, technology, risk, operations or strategy.
