In this new, limited series of Risk Management: Brick by Brick, host Jason Reichl sits down with Keith Stouder, Vice President of Privacy and AI Governance at ACT for Episode 2 of ‘Documentation & Organization,’ for a fascinating conversation about building AI governance frameworks that enable innovation while managing risk responsibly. With nearly 30 years in IT spanning automotive, government, healthcare, and education, Keith brings a unique perspective on how organizations can embrace AI transformation without compromising data privacy or ethical standards.

Discover how ACT manages one of the largest educational data stores while leveraging AI for student assessment and policy development, why Keith's team chose a "green light until red" approach rather than starting with restrictions, and how to quantify AI risk using the same frameworks applied to traditional operational risks. Learn practical strategies for executive buy-in, employee enablement, and building governance committees that actually keep pace with rapid technological change.
