EP 202: The Holy Grail of AI Mass Adoption - Governance
7 Feb 2024 · 38 min
Podcast episode (Everyday AI, EP 202) in which host Jordan Wilson interviews Gabriela Koos (Senior Fellow, AI 2030) about governance for generative AI. They discuss what governance means (technical standards + ethical practices across design, build, and use), risks and real-world failures (robocalls, hallucinated legal citations, deepfake fraud), the speed challenge for standards, corporate vs. government roles, pilot best-practices (short iterative pilots, metrics, bounded scope), change management (multi‑stakeholder task forces, inclusion, ongoing education), and common mistakes (blind optimism, total clampdown, ivory-tower control). Practical advice: self-educate and create an immediate cross-functional task force.

This is the Everyday AI show, the everyday podcast where we simplify AI and bring its power to your fingertips. Listen daily for practical advice to boost your career, business and everyday life.
It's that tricky topic that it seems like no one can get a hold of governance. Right? There's always these, these hurdles and these roadblocks that you have to go over or go through until you can properly implement and properly adopt to getting generative AI in your organization. And one of those is governance. So we're going to be tackling that today and more on everyday AI. Thank you for joining us. My name's Jordan Wilson and I am the host of Everyday AI. If you're new here, thanks for joining us. This is for you. This daily livestream, daily podcast, daily newsletter, it's all for you. There's always so much happening in the world of generative AI and it's hard to tackle it all alone. So that's why we are here to help you grow your company and grow your career by understanding and using generative AI. All right, so we're, I'm super excited to talk about governance. It's something we literally cannot talk about enough. But before we do that, I'm going to go over, as we do every day, the AI news. So if you maybe are joining us live or you're listening to us on your commute to work, there's always more additional info and links in the show notes. Make sure to check those out, including to our website at your everyday AI.com where we will be recapping these news stories as well as the show for today. All right, so let's talk about what is new in the AI world news. Well, AI news in the world, right? All right, so a Texas company is to blame for the AI robocall impersonating President Joe Biden. So Texas based telecon company Life Corporation and its owner Walter Monk were identified as the source behind the AI generated robocalls impersonating President Joe Biden during the New Hampshire presidential primary, according to reports. So this call was reportedly created with the voice cloning software from AI startup ElevenLabs, but the company has denied responsibility. So the FCC and the New Hampshire Attorney General's office have taken action against the source of this fake robocall. So I've been talking about this literally for like nine months, that the 2024 presidential election is going to be a lot of people's first foray into generative AI. So, yeah, you're going to be seeing a lot of these probably on a daily basis. Starting here in a couple of weeks as primary season starts to heat up. All right, next, there is a new and updated AI model for video that was just released. So Stability AI has announced an upgrade to its image to Video Latent Diffusion Model S, which promises better motion and consistency, in short, AI videos. So this model is available for public use now and subscription members can also access it to use it for commercial purposes. So free for education and research, but you obviously have to have a paid account if you're using it for commercial purposes. So the new model is called SVD 1.1 and it's a fine tuned version of SVD 1.0 and it's optimized to generate, like I said, more consistent and photorealistic AI video. So this space is crowded. You know, I talked about that in the, you know, bold takes for 2024 that this is going to be a space to keep an eye on. So not only do you have your Runway and your pika, but now you have the new updated video model from Stability AI as well as you have Google Lumiere and Meta Emu video as well. It's going to get crowded there. And hey, there's already reports of AI video in super bowl ads or big game ads, right? What can you say? All right, last piece of AI news. The attorney who infamously submitted made up information from an AI chatbot is now undergoing some disciplinary action. So the New York lawyer is facing discipline action for using a fictitious case generated by AI in a medical malpractice lawsuit. So the lawyer admitted when this happened a couple of months ago, admitted to using AI for research and failing to verify the results, submitting a fabricated citation in her legal brief. So the use of AI in legal profession has raised concerns about competency, complacency and the need for transparency and verification. It's like y' all increase the quality of your input and you're not going to have hallucinations like this. So yeah, this case did happen a couple of months ago. But now the new news here is that it seems like these disciplinary actions are apparently underway. All right, that was a lot in a very short amount of time. So if something there caught your ear or we always have a lot more that's going on in the world of AI news and just kind of fresh finds from across the web and recapping our show for today. So as always, you can go to your everydayai.com and sign up for that free daily newsletter. But now let's talk governance, right? It's something we've talked about here on the show a couple of times, but I think you can't hear it enough. So if you're someone that is in charge of implementing AI within your organization. Organization. If you're trying to think of the best ways to govern generative AI, today's show is for you. So it's not just me. I'm very excited for our guest today. So please help me welcome to the show. There we go. All right, so we have Gabriela Koos, Senior Fellow at AI 2030. Gabriela, thank you for joining the show.
Yeah, thank you for having me. It's a pleasure to be here today.
Absolutely. It's great to have you. And hey, thanks for everyone joining us live. Tara from Nashville and Woozy from Kansas City. Everyone, thank you for joining us. As always. If you have a question, make sure to get it in now. Right. Don't wait. All right. But Gabriella, tell us a little bit about what you do as a Senior Fellow at AI 2030.
Sure. So my background, I'm a governance subject matter expert. So in international financial sector and economic development programming around the world, 56 different countries, I built governance institutions. I helped to strengthen legal and regulatory frameworks in order to ensure that there was good ethical and standards principles. And now at AI 2030, I'm applying those same concepts to the emerging edge technology field of artificial intelligence. So working to get the word out, share perspectives through different events, programming and activities like today's, and just really looking to help shape standard setting discussions around legal and regulatory and ensure ensuring responsible innovation in the AI space.
Now, I'm sure if you are actively trying to implement generative AI in your organization, you are very aware of the concept of governance and why it's needed. But Gabriela, maybe let's hit rewind and zoom out a little bit, but talk about what governance even is for those maybe who are unaware and why it's so important.
Sure. So governance usually encompasses kind of two core areas. One deals with technical standards or practices, and the other really deals with your ethical behaviors or your moral assumptions for use of a given technology or an emerging area. Right. So when we talk about governance, we're talking about the rules or the framework that shapes both the design. Okay. So it goes all the way back and rewinds to some of the engineering days. So it covers some of the design, it also covers the application. Okay. So where you can use that technology, and then it also covers any outputs from that technology and their use, how they're made available to the public or in what ways you can use those particular outputs. So it's really at each stage, design, build and then actual use and application.
Yeah. And I think it's important to talk about and investigate a little bit deeper because I think sometimes people are under just have bad instruction or you know, people just think, oh well, we can just throw a bunch of generative AI into our organization just like it's a new piece of software. But it's not really like that because, you know. Gabriella, could you talk a little bit of, you know, kind of the, the dangers of, of a AI, especially if you don't know what you're doing. You know, obviously we talked about, you know, the updated piece of news here with the, the attorney submitting, you know, kind of hallucinations to, to, to the courts. But what are some maybe dangers on like okay, well, actually need AI governance.
Yeah. So I think there's been, you know, a few cases that have come up so far. I believe it was a car dealership that had an AI bot that sold a car for $1 or you have. And you know, some of these things, they're funny and then others aren't quite so funny. So more recently you had the gentleman who thought he was speaking to a room full of his C suite board and in fact it was, you know, an AI developed board SC and he lost $25 million. So I think, you know, we're starting to see what some of the potential negative implications are and correctly so, you know, those of us who have dealt with emerging issue areas or emerging technologies are trying to work together collaboratively to try to both create a framework and an opportunity for stepping forward in a way that positively allows companies, organizations and individuals to know what is the healthy, constructive way to use this technology and what is not. And I think what you'll see is a need to revamp some of the legal and regulatory framework around that in a way that's not prohibitive for technology to develop, but also for a way that we start to protect consumers and the general public. So really when we talk about, you know, why governance is important, it comes down to this concept of, well, it's a new space. We know that it's going to be an emerging opportunity, but with opportunities come threats. Right. And so that's where we need to start to look at both, you know, some of the security aspects, some of the ethical aspects of using somebody's image without their permission, or using images that you've shared publicly, right through your Facebook account, through your other social media accounts. Who owns that? How can that be Used or manipulated? Should it be labeled that it has been AI generated or AI manipulated and what implications does that have for society at large? So that's just a bit of a deep dive. Using some, like very recent, somewhat funny, others, not so funny examples.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you know, we talked about this on the show yesterday. The example that you brought up, the individual who accidentally, you know, transferred $25 million to a company because they were speaking with a very convincing and AI deepfake board. Right. Which is something even a year ago, you know, or a year and a half ago. I don't think people envisioned that something like this would, could be a problem for their company. Right. So maybe let's, even before we even dive it a little bit deeper on, you know, governance and ethical frameworks, maybe let's just talk about, and I'd love to hear your perspective on just the speed of all of this technology and how that actually complicates governance because, you know, you can make, you know, the best, you know, rules and regulations, but then there's maybe a brand new technology that didn't exist two months ago when you were putting your framework together. So how can companies really tackle that breakneck speed of new generative AI technologies with being safe, yet using gen AI to stay ahead?
Yeah, so I'll talk through some of this at a macro level and then we'll go into sort of the company level. At the macro level, what you have to understand is that this is the speed with which this is moving. So I came from like the blockchain and digital asset space and that was moving fast. This is just taking off. It's like one day there's, you know, nothing there and the next day you have a deepfake board that's now extorting or stealing $25 million from you. Right. The pace is so fast that it is extremely difficult to build out a framework in rapid pace. Right. So just to give you an example, to create either ethical standards or global technical standards, you're talking about a period that usually would take anywhere at the very fastest pace, five years and at the like longer end and probably median seven and then longer term, 10 years to get one standard through a due process, a standard setting, board, committees, advisory groups, ensuring all stakeholders have had the opportunity to give feedback and input and that it's not going to have any unintended consequences when it comes to the market, the technology or the geography that it's being applied. All right, seven, seven years. Let's give it on average now, if it takes seven years to create a new standard. There's a, that creates a lot of bottleneck and it's also not being relevant or timely for the purposes of users or companies that are trying to have a competitive advantage. Okay. While protect their own interests as well as the interests of their customers and clients. So what you're going to see is most likely this gap that exists and that's where you're going to have industries sort of coming around and coming together and starting to understand that they themselves need to start to come forward with at the very minimum a framework and more likely some level of principles based approach to standard setting that will allow for companies, especially listed companies that have additional burdens and responsibilities that they can use this technology responsibly. And so, you know, I think that's one piece of it when it comes to your everyday company. I strongly encourage people to look at and for guidance from FinTech for Good and from AI 2030 we've recently produced a response to NIST, which is our US national standard setting body that goes through and provides sort of a high level etch around the ethical and appropriate application of AI technology and practice. So you know, again, you can Google it FinTech4 with the number Good AI 2030. It should give you some level of direction if you yourself are tasked, if you're, you know, sort of your company is tech ombudsman or you're sort of in charge of some of the edge technology ethical or standard governance procedures. I would strongly take a look at some of that and also follow nist. So that's a piece that I think you want to look at as well and follow what some of our national standard setting boards are doing, the direction they're taking and that should give you some insight as to like how you yourself maybe need to strengthen order and promote the use of that in a responsible way.
So so much good information there. Yeah, don't worry. This is one of those when I tell people like check the show notes. Check the show notes. Yeah, Gabrielle just, just dropped a lot of great information and yeah, we've had other, other guests on the show from AI 2030, FinTech for good. So we'll, we'll put their episodes in there as well. So yeah, geez. So, so many nuggets there. My gosh. All right, so Gabriella, let's, let's maybe hit rewind now and, and talk just about governance because like what you said right there, I think well, first we just have to tackle that like you can't businesses like whether you're small, medium or enterprise, you can't operate the same way you've always operated with these five to seven years, going through committees, etc, even with pilot programs. I tell big companies if your first foray into generative AI is a one year pilot program, you're going to fail. You got to have something short and measurable. Anyways. Let's talk about just the, the actual process of governance. Like what is it, how does it work? You know, because like what you said Gabriella, like doing the five to seven year route, you can't really do that. So what's the responsible way to govern generative AI in your organization? Are you still running in circles trying to figure out how to actually grow your business with AI? Maybe your company has been tinkering with large language models for a year or more, but can't really get traction to find ROI on gen AI. Hey, this is Jordan Wilson, host of this very podcast. Companies like Adobe, Microsoft and Nvidia have partnered with us because they trust our expertise in educating the masses around generative AI to get ahead. And some of the most innovative companies in the country hire us to help with their AI strategy and to train hundreds of their employees on how to use Gen AI. So whether you're looking for ChatGPT training for thousands or just need help building your front end AI strategy, you can partner with us too. Just like some of the biggest companies in the world do. Go to your everydayai.com partner to get in contact with our team or you can just click on the partner section of our website. We'll help you stop running in those AI circles and help get your team ahead and build a straight path to ROI on Gen AI.
Yeah, so I'll draw some parallels to some of what we're seeing with regards to the adoption and implementation of esg, because I feel like a lot of emerging areas have a lot in common when it comes to having individuals or departments with responsibility for really trying to create order out of what may appear to be somewhat chaotic, you know, surroundings. And I think that in this instance you can draw a lot of parallels to that. You're going to have a lot of emerging, likely private sector entities that stand forward and try to create some level of organized framework. Okay. Or principles. And I think that if, if you are an individual who's tasked with helping to ensure the appropriate approach for your company or your division when it comes to AI, the first and best place to look at, I think will be towards some of like the government. Right. And see what's coming out of There. If that's too slow, then start to look at some of the private sector organizations that are trying advance responsible AI usage. Right. The other things you can do is look at some of the larger companies, so the Amazons, the Googles, the Microsoft's, the approaches that they're taking, because that can give you some level of insight into how you can build and at least learn in a similar manner how to structure an approach that helps to hopefully protect and support your customers and clients and your staff, staff and organization. I think the last piece I'll say is that you need to be doing things like listening to AI every day and you need to be, you know, subscribing to different news feeds and other, you know, organizational feeds that provide you with insight on how other pilots are being run and structured. I agree with the fact that a year is way too long to kind of test some of this. I think you're looking at more like a, you know, two to three month period, which I think is much more reasonable and also minimizes any of the potential negative impacts that you would have. You need to design that pilot in a way that you have previously identified what your metrics for measuring success are. You need to bound it so that it doesn't have leakage into some of the broader activities of your organization in the event that there are negative impacts. And I think you also need to be honest about what the true value is. Return on investing time, effort, energy and capital. Okay, so what your return on investment is and then ultimately understanding and doing a very strong identification of risks and actions that you're going to take to mitigate those risks. Risks, if you're going to push that towards like a next level pilot. And I would say, you know, again, it's one of these things where you're not going to like do a pilot and then push go. I think you're going to do a bunch of iterative piloting until you and your organization feels comfortable with the framework and structure that you've designed that appropriately takes into consideration some of the litigation risks, some of the, you know, challenges that you're going to see around privacy and protection. So these are not going to necessarily be things that will be able to be litigated, but it's going to be in the court of public opinion whether or not the way that you've designed and sought to use AI is appropriate socially. Okay. And that's why I say, I think there's a lot of parallels to some of what we've seen roll out with esg because you're in sort of this gray space of what is and isn't appropriate and that is ever changing. And so that's why staying abreast is of, you know, daily news on AI. Understanding what public attitude is towards AI and its applications is going to be crucially important to designing something that in the end is not only acceptable from a social perspective, is legal when it comes to the shifting legal and regulatory framework. But I think it's suitable in terms of the appetite for risk and appropriate application of that for your own company, its leadership, its shareholders, clients, customers and staff.
Yeah, and I, I think, Gabriella, that it also depends on where. Right. Like a lot of our audience is, is here from the U.S. but we have, geez, I think just I looked this week, we have people listening from 160 different countries. So it depends on where you are. Right. But like just let's say for the US because that's where the majority of our, of our audience is from. So let's, you know, you kind of mentioned government. So Raul here has a great question. Raul, thanks for the question. So saying, do you believe that governance will first be imp in corporations or do you believe the federal government will have to intervene to make this happen within corporations? What's your take on that, Gabriella?
Sure. So I think it depends on the country. I think if I'm looking at the U.S. you know, if we're also understanding that we have a global audience, I think in the US what you're going to see is due to some of the protracted nature of the legal and regulatory system here in the US the very first steps are going to be corporations that will work to minimize any potential negative impacts to their own bottom line and to their staff and to their products. So it's going to be somewhat self interested, but the first steps are going to be, you know, risk identification and mitigation in order to ensure that things like the $25 million loss doesn't happen again. Right. So that's going to be the first wave of governance that most individuals who are tasked with some role in creating a governance framework for AI are going to be told this can't happen to us. Make sure you find a way so that this doesn't happen. Yeah. Then I think what you're going to see is an ongoing, which you've already started to see. Right. With the utilization of the robocalls for the Biden campaign, for example, now you're going to have some of the societal pressure which will, I think again before laws are created. Okay. There's always some level of industry self regulation and whether it's effective or not, you know, that's for the audience to judge. But before there's usually some sort of formal law. The ways that formal laws typically get made is through almost piloting in real life in many cases from industry. And so industry will give input and feedback into that process before a law is, you know, undertaken. Usually in the US Overseas you may have, especially depending on the type of government, if it is more centralized, if it is more a command and control, then you will likely see laws being moved very fast to ensure that, you know, some of the top down powers that be are protected, that those risks are identified and mitigated so as to ensure no undue or inadvertent unseating of power or disruption to the order. But I think when it comes to like more free societies, free markets, you're gonna see it happen first in some of the corporations. Yeah.
Oh yeah, I couldn't, I couldn't agree more. Yeah. Normally I don't interject, but you know, I'll say at least here in the US because I think people don't have a good picture of this. I don't think there's going to be any meaningful legislation around AI anytime soon. At least here in the US when we're talking about legislation, will there be executive orders? Yes. Will there be legislation? Probably not. People don't even realize that there hasn't even been meaningful legislation passed around social media. Right. We're still debating the merits of section 230, which is from 1996. So yeah, I don't think, you know, kind of, kind of what Gabriella said it might be best to tackle this one from the, from the corporate side. I love this question here from Tara. So asking what are the best practices for change management involved in introducing new governance. Yeah, I think people just kind of skip over the fact that those two are very interconnected. Gabriela, what's your thoughts on introducing kind of AI governance but then also still prioritizing proper change management?
Sure. So I think in that sense when you're looking at. So I would say that there's almost like two different levels. One is like again I do like a macro and then I do sort of an organizational micro view at a macro level. I think we're talking about advancing some of the need for standards and for practices. It's not just with AI, it's with a lot of things for that to be more timely and relevant and to be reviewed and amended more rapidly for obsolescence and applicability. Okay, so that's kind of one piece. When you talk about, you know, internally. I always go through a process whereby, you know, you're looking at a multi stakeholder group. So it is going to be some sort of unit internally that helps to provide input and feedback into the individual or the department that's tasked with creating that governance structure. So ensuring that you have somebody from marketing, someone from product, somebody from finance who's part of the conversation around what governance should look like for this space. Because you then have individuals from different departments. Those people become a natural delivery channel down into their units and departments. And they've also felt bought into the process. They understand why it's important and applicable to their business function. And so one of the most important things for change management involved in new governance is inclusion. So that's why I think it's really important to make sure that you have that multidisciplinary, multi departmental team that talks through what this is as a technology, why we're moving forward with governance, and explains, you know, what some of the tangible next steps for people who are head of Finance need to be. Maybe it's that, you know, when we have important board calls that we also have to, you know, do a text just to double check and make sure that or another mode of communication that's off of that particular zoom meet so that we now are able to double check some of this. We look through some of the risks both as like the individual who's tasked with the governance setup, but then also ask for feedback from some of those department heads where they see now that they have been introduced to this technology, now that we've started to see what some of the risks are, what do they see as some of the weaknesses or areas or threats that we need to at. Look, look at. I think in addition to that, doing some sort of like a basic tutorial that both, you know, educates at the departmental head around AI so that they feel comfortable and confident with using that technology, but also in taking a role in not necessarily calling out, but in shepherding their staff in using that technology and saying these are the things that we're generally seeing are appropriate ways for applying this. Here's where from like an IT or our ciso, you know, talked about, these are the ways that we're not going to use this technology. I just want to make very clear, you know, the bounds of how and in what ways we can leverage this so that we are not inadvertently exposing ourselves to unnecessary risk, but at the same time that we're remaining competitively advantageous with regards to early adoption and application of what we know to be a very powerful and use useful technology. So I think inclusion is part of this. Education is another part which I just mentioned. And then I think lastly, because this is an emerging space, it's ongoing education. So that little task force that you'll develop, that's multidisciplinary, multi departmental, it is not going to be like a one and done. Like, glad we had this talk, guys. Let's never, let's never waste people's time again. It's kind of like a, hey, once a month, you know, I'm the head of IT or I'm the person who's been tasked with governance. My job is to listen, to learn from, like, you know, again with emerging technologies, YouTube videos, podcasts, like this one, and then, you know, to be responsible for really kind of giving people, I don't know, do like a, you know, brown bag lunch session once a month so that people don't feel like it's like they're being forced to do more work. I mean, I always pay people off and cupcakes and cookies, so, you know, that's kind of an easy one. And then just say, like, this is what we're seeing on the horizon. These are the key trends. I want to make sure that people are aware of what these things are, you know, and just keep people up to speed on some of this. Encourage especially younger people in your staff who you're prepping for succession planning and future leadership, that they're aware of this, that they're keeping pace with it, and that you also have somebody else who's kind of out there watching, especially as it relates to their particular vertical.
Yeah, something, something you said in there, Gabriela, that I love just the, the risk mitigation. And it seems like sometimes it's, people are so risk adverse with generative AI, which makes sense, but then it just leads to inaction. Right. And then it leads to, you know, losing ground in your competitors. So, yeah, you have to balance risk mitigation with proper implementation, I think is huge. Great question here from Monica. Thanks. Thanks for this one, Monica. So asking what are some of the mistakes that maybe you've seen that, that we can learn from? Gabrielle?
Yeah, well, again, we'll do some of those that are publicly available and have been used for consumption just to, you know, be sensitive to some of the firms that have, you know, forayed into this space and have had some kind of negative experiences so far. But I think one Thing is sort of like a blind idealism towards what this can and should do. I think just like when the Internet was first coming forward, there's going to be a lot of ways that this can be applied, right. So it always has to be like a cost benefit of like whether it actually makes sense for your department for a particular product, for a particular customer segment. Right. So I think that one of the things is just like, yay, we have a new technology, it solves everything. Now I expect you to get your work done in 10 minutes instead of 10 hours, right? So I think, you know, some of those pieces are going to be important. So blind adherence to or excitement around a technology and its application. Mistake number one, I think mistake number two is like the exact opposite of that, which is a complete and utter clampdown, which is that we don't know what this is. No one should use it at all. It should be. So it's almost like I think the main mistake here is kind of around balancing it being a learning organization that sees the value, knows how to dip their toes in and is doing it to the best degree possible. With regards to responsibility, I think you want people to test and play with this technology and it shouldn't just be at some of the higher levels. You want it to be encouraged with younger staff. Why? Well, most likely the younger staff is going to be more open to using it. They're going to be the ones for whom this will dictate sort of their trajectory professionally and success. They're also going to see it as an early indicator of the degree to which your firm and organization is open to transformation, opportunity and kind of the next wave of where your product market, customer, client is going. So I think that, you know, if I'm looking at some of this, it's you know, one, blind adherence, big mistake two, ultimate clampdown. Second mistake three though is keeping it almost in like an ivory tower, right? And saying only this high level group should be able to apply it because probably the better applications of it and the people who are going to be more savvy around it are going to maybe be some of your like newer hires or your like lower level management. And so I think that making sure that those people feel both empowered as well as supported. And then lastly, I think, you know, if I had to name a fourth issue that I think comes up, it's that like all mistakes are, you know, irreversible and no one should be forgiven. It's a new space. There's going to be lots of mistakes that are made. And if the reaction from senior leadership is a complete, like, you're fired, you tried to do this, it failed. Or like you were saying around piloting, there's going to be lots of pilots that will fail, acknowledge it's a failure, don't just stop, you know, iterating or playing with what could be potential applications of AI, but really start to think about what is it that would have been better, you know, and really do a true debrief from that. Right. Because a lot of times we're like, oh, AI didn't work so the entire technology could be thrown out. Nearly like, well, hold on. Like maybe it didn't work in finance, but it definitely could work in, you know, engaging around business development and creating prompts and scripts and you know, more personalized tailored emails, saving time, you know, efficiency, effectiveness, you know, what are some low risk areas that we can apply this first that don't unnecessarily, you know, disclose proprietary or sensitive information, but can enhance people's daily job experience so that they're, they're able to be freed up to do some of those higher value added tasks. Right. And I think that's where you're going to find those like kind of like lower management, maybe even higher level early hire people who I think, you know, they're going to have some really cool ways to work with this and I think it's really important to empower them and to support them in sort of a lot of that investment. Inventing.
Yeah, so, so, so many, I mean this, this episode, Gabriella has been like a, a goodie bag of governance. You know, we've talked about how to set up ethical frameworks, best practices on working with stakeholders, balancing risk mitigation and timely implementation and you know, inclusion. You're right. Involving all levels of an organization. But you know, as we wrap up here, maybe what's, what's your one best piece of advice for someone? Maybe they are in charge of, you know, governance or they're in charge of implementation. What is that one very specific, practical piece of advice that you can give for people that they can start implementing AI responsibly with governance in mind.
Yeah. So I think I'll give you two and I'll make them really fast because I know we're getting close to wrap up, but I think the first one is to make sure that you're learning and you know, it's not going to be your traditional learning by the time formal educational resources are available, you know, they're going to be so watered down in general, you really do need to start to do your homework by listening to podcasts, by going on to the, you know, onto YouTube, watching videos. You need to self educate on this so that you're ahead of the curve. That's number one. And number two is get a task force set up immediately. You know, start pulling people to the center, start talking about what this is. And don't be afraid to admit when things fail. You know, you learn so much more from when a, you know, pilot fails, fails. And I actually don't believe in the concept of failure, to be quite honest with you. I think everything is just a part of the ultimate success story. So, you know, there's setbacks, but I don't know that you could ever consider a failure a failure if you learn something from it. So that's why I think it's really important to see that as a progression towards a successful application of this.
