Stop Writing an AI Governance Policy. Do This Instead.

If you're a $3M+ business in a regulated industry, we'll find the #1 constraint bottlenecking your business and the best solution to solve it - whether it's AI or not - for free: https://alreadybuilt.ai/strategy?r=y35p&utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=Y35-let-non-technical-people-build-safely&utm_content=desc_topYou sat down to write the rules that define who in your business is allowed to use AI and what they can build with it. That policy cannot reach the thing you should actually be worried about, because people on your teams have already been building. A tool takes an afternoon, so it never feels like a project worth telling anyone about, and nobody tells anyone. Otavio gives you the one condition that governs every AI build from here on, and shows you why the first move is a conversation rather than a project.In this episode:00:00 The policy cannot reach what is already built01:07 You can name every tool you pay for and none of the ones your team made04:10 Why a mandate and an approval gate both lose05:37 Name the problem out loud and in writing07:09 Twenty people, twenty different sets of rules09:28 The biotech team the standards did not replace11:25 The law firm that removed its AI mandate13:46 How to have the conversationMore Value:Learn the tactics my team and I are using as we scale to delivering $1B+ in client value: https://alreadybuilt.ai/built-brief?r=brief&utm_source=web&utm_medium=description_cta&utm_campaign=brief&utm_content=desc_footerWatch my latest YouTube videos: https://www.youtube.com/@otavio_pailoDISCLOSURE: Information shared here is for educational purposes only.
