Responsible AI Summit North America: Day 1 - Tuesday, June 23, 2026

12:45 PM Lunch and Learn with Women in Data: From Policy to Practice: Women Leading the Governance of AI

Join Women in Data for a lunchtime conversation, structured around these three questions: 

1. Governance means something different depending on whether you're sitting inside a government or inside a corporation. Where do you each see the biggest gap between how policy is written and how governance actually gets operationalized on the ground?

2. AI governance is often framed as a constraint on innovation. How do you push back on that narrative — and what does good governance actually unlock for the people and organizations you serve?

3. For women building careers at the intersection of AI, risk, and governance, what's the one thing you wish someone had told you earlier?

Responsible AI Summit North America: Day 2 - Wednesday, June 24, 2026

9:15 AM Opening Panel Discussion – The U.S. AI Patch Work: What Enterprises Can Govern Now

AI regulation in the United States is emerging as a patchwork of state laws, federal guidance, and sector-specific rules rather than a single national framework. This panel brings together voices from government, policy, and industry to discuss what is taking shape, what remains uncertain, and which requirements are likely to endure. The conversation focuses on how organizations can operationalise responsible AI governance today and continue to push innovation without waiting for regulatory clarity that may never fully arrive.

• Understanding the practical impact of state, federal, and sector rules.

• Continuing to innovate amid regulatory uncertainty.

• Translating policy signals into enterprise-ready operating models.
