Trust, Tech, and the Bottom Line: CFOs at the Frontline of AI Risk

CFOs now sit at the intersection of AI innovation and accountability, responsible for preserving both trust and the bottom line.
This session brings finance and technology leaders together to explore the real benefits of AI alongside critical risks: bad data, opaque models, cyber exposure, and evolving compliance requirements.
We will examine how CFOs are redefining risk and what effective governance actually looks like in practice. Attendees will leave with pointed questions for their CEOs, boards, CIOs, and vendors, plus a clear framework for evaluating new AI tools.
Panelists:
Brett Wilson, Co-Founder & Managing Partner at IOmergent
Dan Rochkind, CFO at Lerer Hippeau
Sanj Sanampudi, CEO at Numeral
