Compliance in the Age of AI

The Compliance in the Age of AI program, hosted by Opal Group from June 4 – 5 at the Hyatt Regency in Boston, MA, centers on this theme: building trust and transparency through intelligent compliance.

AI presents both a profound opportunity and a significant risk and is reshaping how companies manage risk, ensure transparency and maintain adherence to regulatory standards. This program is designed to equip leaders to address the complexities of integrating AI responsibility into their organizations and lead their organization’s AI strategy with confidence by exploring the intersection of technology and governance over numerous in-person sessions.

From Responsible AI to Defensible AI: Proving Accountability When Oversight Can’t Scale — Friday, June 5, 2026, at 2:45 P.M.

As AI becomes embedded in core business operations, organizations are being held to a higher standard — one that goes beyond stated principles to provable accountability. In this closing general session, Cherry Bekaert Cybersecurity Partner Kurt Manske, alongside other industry professionals, examines what it takes to move from responsible AI to defensible AI as automated decisions scale faster than traditional oversight can keep pace.

The discussion focuses on building AI governance that stands up to regulatory, board, and customer scrutiny, including clear decision rights, embedded accountability, real‑time controls, and governance models that hold across third‑party tools and increasingly autonomous systems.
