Governance in the Age of A.I. isn’t about red tape — it’s about trust. In this episode of TIDES, Shveta Malhan sits down with Mercedes Sullivan to unpack what governance really means when A.I. is reshaping how we work.From hiring algorithms to workplace monitoring tools like Cluely, governance is no longer just an IT or compliance issue — it’s a people issue. HR leaders must step up as co-creators of ethical, human-centered rules for how A.I. is designed, deployed, and experienced at work.🔍 In this conversation, we explore:- What governance really is (beyond “policing”)- Why HR is often missing from governance tables — and why that must change- The three levels of governance (federal, state, local) and how A.I. complicates them- Real-world examples of missed opportunities when HR was left out- How culture, trust, and cross-functional collaboration shape governance outcomes💡 Key takeaway: If HR doesn’t lead in A.I. governance, someone else will — and they may not bring the same people-first perspective.Yenza3 helps HR and business leaders adapt, adopt & thrive in the age of AI.👥 Connect with Shveta Malhan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shvetamalhan/🌐 https://yenza3.com👥 Connect with Mercedes Sullivan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mercedessullivan/📌 Timestamps 00:00 – Introduction01:12 – What is governance, really?03:02 – Where governance typically sits in organizations07:48 – The gaps at the individual/team level12:53 – Missed opportunities when HR is left out18:39 – Culture as a barrier to governance26:47 – Performance, outcomes, and A.I. in HR34:27 – Trust, bias, and the risks of over-reliance37:25 – Closing reflections🎧 Listen to more TIDES episodes on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube  @TIDESByYenza3  👉 Question for you: In your organization, who is really writing the rules of trust when it comes to A.I.?#AI #HR #Governance #FutureOfWork #TIDESPodcast
