About this episode
Miriam Vogel discusses AI governance with Joshua Geltzer and Jessica Lewis, focusing on the importance of Board-level engagement in overseeing AI.
EqualAI is thrilled to share the publication of our AI Governance Playbook for Boards —a practical guide to help Boards of Directors responsibly oversee AI while balancing risk management, value creation, and emerging legal and compliance obligations. On this episode of In AI We Trust?, EqualAI President and CEO Miriam Vogel sits down with our partners at WilmerHale, Jessica Lewis and Joshua Geltzer, to discuss the newly released Playbook, and Jessica and Joshua break down why Board-level engagement in AI governance is no longer optional—but both a best practice and, increasingly, a legal requirement.
