The organizations that will lead with AI are those that balance privacy and utility through transparency about methods, limitations, and responsibilities across the data cycle. In this episode, Arundati Dandapani, Founder & CEO, Generation1.ca, joins host Zontziry “Z” Johnson, Founder, MRXplorer, to discuss how fast-changing global AI regulation is reshaping governance for insights teams. They explore why global policy matters even for local organizations, including cross-border privacy, sector-specific rules, and the growing expectation for explainable, monitored AI decisions. The conversation covers risk-based and rights-based approaches, frameworks like OECD and NIST, and the shift from regulation to coordination and interoperability. They also examine de-identification, anonymization, synthetic data, client confidentiality, contracts, and digital responsibility, emphasizing that responsible innovation requires judgment, human oversight, and continual reassessment of harms and value.
