The Dumb Monkey Show - Simplifying AI for business leaders
Why AI Governance is Failing (And What Can You Do to Fix It)
Most businesses rushed to adopt AI — but skipped the one thing that could’ve protected them: governance.
In this episode, I sit down with Davina to unpack why AI governance should’ve been the very first conversation leaders had. From shadow AI and privacy risks to policies that actually work, we break down what good governance looks like — and why most businesses are still getting it wrong.
You’ll learn:
- What AI governance really means (beyond just a policy doc)
- How to manage tools like Canva AI and Microsoft Copilot in your workplace
- Real risks: from hallucinations to data breaches
- The difference between “banning AI” and “governing AI”
- How to build an AI policy and rollout framework that people actually follow
If you're a founder, manager, or even just AI-curious — this episode will help you stay ahead of the curve, without falling into compliance chaos.
