Patrick breaks down exactly what ISO 42001 certification looks like, why AI governance actually speeds up innovation (not slows it down), how to audit your own AI systems, and what every employee using ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini at work should know right now.Whether you're a CISO, CTO, product manager, or just someone who pastes meeting notes into AI tools, this episode will change how you think about data security forever.
