WHERE ETHICS &
COMPLIANCE PROS
COME TO LEVEL UP

Every catastrophic compliance failure started as a manageable problem someone wasn't prepared for. Most compliance professionals will never face anything like the Deepwater Horizon blowout. But the legal and regulatory dynamics it produced — parallel agency investigations, evidence preservation battles, contested root cause narratives, and workforce interview preparation — appear in workplace incidents at every scale, every week, across every industry. In this session, Gavin Hill, a member of Dykema's newly launched Emergency Incident Response team, offers a practitioner's translation of high-stakes incident response into actionable guidance for the compliance programs most of us are actually running.

Most organizations have AI policies. Almost none can answer the three questions that actually determine whether those policies will hold. The session centers on The Ethical Nightmare Challenge™: a three-part governance model built around the questions that should structure every organization's approach to AI risk. Drawing on his experience advising across industries and organizational levels Reid Blackman will show ethics, compliance, and HR professionals how to build organizational capacity to deploy AI confidently and responsibly, even as the technology continues to evolve faster than traditional frameworks can keep up.
