What you'll learn

Understand the Shift from “Chatbots” to “Autonomous Agents"

Analyze 2026 mandates (EU AI Act, US laws) reshaping accountability, liability, and executive AI risk.

Why this topic matters

When an airline’s AI chatbot hallucinated a refund policy and the company was held accountable, it changed how I saw AI. These weren’t isolated mistakes — they were signals. AI is gaining autonomy, but governance isn’t keeping pace. And very few professionals are ready to step into that gap. That realization pushed me toward AI governance. ”AI Governance professionals will be in high demand.”
