Why Responsible AI is a Hard Data Engineering Problem (Not a Legal Checklist)

Tuesday, August 11, 2026

CISO Forum Track (Salon III)

About This Session

While enterprise leaders are eager to unlock the velocity of generative AI and autonomous agents, deployment frequently stalls at the governance layer due to concerns over data hallucinations, compliance risk, and unverified automated actions. The industry has spent significant cycles treating "Responsible AI" as an abstract ethical policy. In a production B2B environment, it is fundamentally an infrastructure architecture challenge.

This session bypasses the high-level policy hype to deliver a battle-tested, vendor-neutral blueprint for building deterministic validation and risk mitigation frameworks directly into the enterprise data layer.
