About this session

As AI systems move from generating content to taking Claw-based agents action inside production systems, governance (not model quality) becomes the limiting factor. David will break down why visibility, guardrails, approvals, and rollback matter more than raw intelligence, and how companies can enable AI adoption without creating security and compliance disasters.
