What does AI governance look like in the real world?

In this episode of the Hacker Proof HQ Podcast, we sit down with Nataja Blakely, an AI Governance professional working across AI risk, technology, policy, cybersecurity, and business.

She shares practical insights on responsible AI adoption, AI risk, bias, deepfakes, AI impersonation, cybersecurity, and the future of artificial intelligence.

We also discuss how she built her career in AI governance, the skills and certifications that helped her along the way, and how professionals without a technical background can get started in the field.

Nataja also introduces AI Confidence Club, her initiative focused on helping everyday people understand and use AI without unnecessary jargon.

This conversation offers practical insights into AI governance, cybersecurity, GRC, career development, and the future of AI.
