A Step-by-Step Guide to Implementing AI Safely and Quickly
Your staff are already using AI, often on personal accounts and with no rules about what they share. That's where the real risk sits. In this session, Julian walks you through the process, from choosing the right platform and setting clear guardrails to protecting your data and getting your people up and running with confidence. Moving staff off their own accounts and onto a properly governed one is the fastest way to reduce risk, and it doesn't need to take months. You'll leave knowing which steps to take and in what order.

You'll leave with AI sitting where you work, instead of off to the side in a browser tab.
