Turning Compliance into Competitive Advantage with AI Governance |Christine Allan de Lavenne| The Cyber Savvy Woman| EP 149

In this episode of The Cyber Savvy Woman, Rachele Schainker sits down with Christine Allan de Lavenne, an AI governance, intellectual property, and digital trust advisor and founder of SIDE Law Office. Christine shares how her bicultural background and career across law, technology, and policy shaped her approach to working at the intersection of emerging technology and regulation. Rachele and Christine discuss the similarities between the early internet and the rise of AI, the different stages of technology regulation, and why businesses should think about governance before rushing to implement AI. They explore Christine’s “product up” approach to governance, AI regulation, copyright, data control, user trust, responsible AI, and the growing importance of AI literacy. They also talk about how AI could affect education, employment, public health, and other areas of society. This episode looks at why governance can be more than a compliance requirement and how intentional, safe, and honest use of AI can help businesses build trust and prepare for what comes next. Christine also shares what being cyber savvy means to her: staying open-minded, curious, and willing to step into areas that are still evolving.
