The AI Reality Check: Balancing Autonomy, Governance, and Enterprise Value
Oct 29, 2026 6:00 PM - 8:30 PM EST
Having AI draft emails or summarize notes is one thing; letting it act autonomously is another. But as organizations grant AI more authority, leaders face a critical financial reality: if employees must constantly review, correct, and supervise AI outputs, the hidden human oversight costs quickly erode expected returns.
Legacy governance models built for human decisions were not designed for autonomous systems acting in real time. Too much manual oversight creates operational bottlenecks and drains ROI, while too little oversight exposes the business to unmitigated risk. The challenge is building the right guardrails, accountability, and controls to move at the speed of AI without sacrificing trust or budget.
Join is for an interactive discussion on moving beyond soft productivity gains, establishing trustworthy governance, and determining where autonomous AI can drive real P&L impact.
BWG Connect, Insight Enterprises & Google invite you to join us for an interactive discussion over drinks and dinner with your peers! We'll explore the latest trends in the space and get your questions answered.
As always, there will be no sales pitches and dinner is complimentary.
Seating is limited, and RSVP is required.
