Studio interview: Are your employees outpacing AI strategy?

Details: Available on demand to registered attendees

AI is no longer just an IT initiative – employees are taking the lead. Across organizations, staff are using AI tools to automate tasks, generate insights and boost wellbeing. But this “Bring Your Own AI” trend is creating headaches for CIOs, from governance and security risks to integration and compliance challenges. NTT DATA reveals how businesses can empower employees, harness AI safely and build responsible governance – drawing on their own experience as a major user of ServiceNow® AI internally to manage, scale and govern AI effectively.
