In the age of AI, digital trust isn’t a feature—it’s a foundational leadership priority. With rising threats, regulatory pressure, and stakeholder scrutiny, executives must ensure their AI strategies are not just innovative but secure, transparent, and ethically grounded.
In this high-level conversation, Asha Saxena, Founder & CEO of WLDA, sits down with Bharat Amin, Board Trustee at The Aerospace Corporation and former EVP & CIO at Huntington Ingalls Industries. Drawing on deep experience in defense, public sector transformation, and enterprise cybersecurity, Bharat shares what it truly takes to lead in an era where trust is as critical as technology.
This session is designed for CIOs, board leaders, CISOs, and transformation executives who understand that AI outcomes—whether in national security or consumer industries—carry real-world consequences.
You’ll learn:
- How to build AI governance frameworks rooted in trust, ethics, and cyber resilience
- Why cybersecurity must be embedded, not bolted on, to support long-term digital transformation
- Lessons from defense-grade cybersecurity that can strengthen AI practices in finance, healthcare, and consumer industries
