AI adoption didn’t wait for governance to catch up. Research shows 54% of professionals are already using tools their employer never approved — and 43% of large firms still lack a formal risk framework. L&D is sitting right in the middle of that gap. In this session, we’ll cover what AI governance actually looks like in practice — not from a policy document, but from the field. Topics will include: · Why “people are already using it” is your most powerful stakeholder pitch · Building a governance coalition without owning the budget or the authority · Getting security and compliance from obstacle to ally · What workforce adoption actually requires beyond policy
