Bottleneck to breakthrough: AI governance That scales 

Graphic for the season 2, episode 1 edition of the Trustonomy podcast

About this episode


Is your AI Governance a safety net or a bottleneck? Most companies treat AI governance as a “one-size-fits-all” checklist, but for one organization that led to a nightmare backlog - hundreds of stalled AI use cases.

Bryan McGowan, Global Trusted AI Leader at KPMG, reveals how they build a governance framework that moves at the speed of innovation, and enables scale without sacrificing security.

The conversation also looks ahead to what’s coming next, including the governance challenges posed by agentic AI, identity and access controls, and the importance of testing and validation across the AI lifecycle.
