Host: Matthew Burbidge
AI governance usually turns up as a policy document or a compliance checklist. This session is about what governance looks like once it has to run inside a real organisation that already has work to do. Matthew Burbidge walks through a model covering who holds the authority to decide, which sources get trusted, where a human signature is required, and how anyone reconstructs later why a decision was made. He tests it against a live civic initiative rather than a hypothetical, then closes with a working demonstration. Aimed at founders, funders, technology leaders and the people running mission-driven and public-sector organisations.
Anu's Take
Did someone say AI governance? Right up my alley. The part I want to see is the example he picked. It is a real community project, not a made-up one, and it belongs to a group that sits right beside his own company. Both of them have already published where the line falls between the community work and the paid work. Testing your own rules against that is harder than talking about them.

Before an agent needs an audit trail, most organisations cannot say who approved the software they are already paying for, and I keep finding the receipts: subscriptions nobody owns, coded to the wrong department, invisible to IT.
