Jovita Tam, data and AI advisor with a background in engineering, law, and finance, joined Yuliia and Dumke to challenge how organizations approach governance. Jovita argues that data governance is a way of thinking, not a tool you purchase, explaining why culture eats strategy and why most governance programs fail at the checkbox exercise. Jovita shares her approach to helping executives understand that governance should be an enabler, not an obstacle, and why treating it as purely compliance or cost center misses the point entirely.

Behind every AI success story is a quiet set of foundations—governance, trust, and purpose-driven decisions—that most teams overlook until it’s too late. This talk reveals what the smartest companies quietly get right—and what everyone else learns the hard way. It also explores the complex, unsolved challenges on the horizon—the ones we haven’t fully mapped, but can’t afford to ignore.
In AI, speed without the proper foundations isn’t a strategy—it’s a liability.
From the perspective of a multidisciplinary professional (tech/law/change management) “How to get fired by ignoring AI Governance” is for CDOs & CDAOs, those leading AI Governance, business executives & product owners with products that might fall within the new EU Artificial Intelligence Act (“EU AI Act”) passed in March 2024.
Starting with an overview of the current global regulatory landscape with a focus on the EU AI Act, the talk dives into the most relevant impact, actionable takeaways, and strategic questions to reflect on.
