Governance Isn't the Handbrake. It's the Green Light.

Most organisations treat AI governance as the thing that slows innovation down. Luli Adeyemo believes the opposite is true.

A technology executive, entrepreneur and former BMX world champion, Luli has spent decades breaking into rooms where she was not expected to belong. Now she is challenging leaders to rethink what responsible AI looks like—and who gets to define it. She explains why appointing a single "AI person" is not governance, why a policy document cannot replace shared accountability, and why the best governing body looks more like a complete executive team than a compliance tick box.

This is a practical and provocative conversation about moving fast without moving blindly: building AI literacy, bringing the right perspectives into decisions and creating the confidence to innovate safely.
