Beyond AI Policies: The Ethical Nightmare Challenge with Reid Blackman

AI risk is moving faster than most organizations can write, let alone implement new policies. By the time a “Responsible AI” policy is approved, Generative AI has shifted the goalposts and “Agentic AI” is already raising the stakes for compliance professionals.

This book unpacks a more innovative, scalable approach to AI governance: one that’s designed to be rapidly implementable, adaptable, and pilotable, without turning governance into a bottleneck. You’ll also hear why his approach is meant to work across levels (i.e. project, department, enterprise), and why cross-functional collaboration is non-negotiable when AI touches everything. We’re kicking off a brand new series of BCG on Compliance with our 2026 opener and we’re excited to bring you more stories from the ever-evolving world of compliance.
