Why Everyone Should Help Break Your AI
You don’t have to choose between fast and safe. Pam Snively, TELUS’ Chief Data & Trust Officer, shares how she convinced internal skeptics to purple team TELUS’ first customer-facing Gen AI support tool and what this innovative approach taught her about balancing risk, speed, collaboration, and innovation in AI Governance.
About Trustonomy
AI is moving fast. Governance has to move faster.
In Season 2 of Trustonomy, we explore what AI-Ready Governance actually looks like inside modern enterprises. Not theory. Not hype. Real leaders navigating trade-offs between speed and safety, innovation and oversight, opportunity and risk. This season goes behind the scenes with executives from KPMG, Lumen, TELUS, Deloitte & Touche LLP, and beyond to examine how teams reduced backlogs, pressure-tested GenAI before launch, scaled governance through ambassador networks, and future-proofed their programs in an environment defined by uncertainty.
Because governance isn’t about slowing innovation. It’s about enabling it — responsibly, confidently, and at AI speed.
