    AI, Risk, and the New Privacy Playbook

    Building transformative AI? The gap between a working prototype and a legally defensible business tool is where most projects fail. In this inaugural episode, attorney Velvet Johnson and technical advisor Meghan break down the stark reality facing companies today: compliance is no longer an annual checkbox. It’s a daily operational necessity. With over 20 state privacy laws, federal AI action plans, and cross-state enforcement actions, the regulatory landscape has become a living ecosystem that interacts with your technology every single day. Velvet shares real-world scenarios from her practice where brilliant AI models were halted because they were built on datasets that legally couldn’t be repurposed, and where unexplainable “black box” decisions became legal liabilities. In this episode, you’ll learn: ∙ Why your AI inventory is non-negotiable and how it becomes your governance blueprint ∙ How to build auditable human oversight systems that satisfy laws like the Colorado AI Act ∙ The explainability crisis: why “the algorithm said no” is never a legally valid reason ∙ How to extend your compliance fortress through vendor due diligence and iron-clad contracts ∙ A three-pillar framework for building AI practices resilient to constant regulatory change This isn’t about slowing innovation. It’s about building smarter foundations. The companies that systematically build trust through responsible, transparent, and well-governed practices are the ones that win long-term. Perfect for: CEOs, CTOs, compliance officers, data scientists, and anyone building or deploying AI systems in regulated environments.
