Panel Discussion: Proof in Production: Customer Lessons from Confidential AI - Panel

Panel Discussion: Proof in Production: Customer Lessons from Confidential AI - Reshma Shetty, ServiceNow; Shyam Menon, Mitek Systems; Nikhil Gulati, Johnson & Johnson; & James Edwards, Midland Credit Management Moderators: Aaron Fulkerson Enterprises in regulated sectors face a stark reality: AI agents offer transformative potential, but the risk of sensitive data bleeding beyond governed boundaries remains unacceptable for many compliance and security teams. Organizations can no longer rely on black-box AI systems or accept the risk of uncontrolled data exposure, unverifiable execution, or AI workflows that outpace governance. As AI adoption accelerates, trust has become the bottleneck, and auditors are demanding verifiable proof. This panel brings together enterprise leaders navigating the real-world challenge of deploying AI in environments where compliance is non-negotiable. Panelists will share how they are balancing innovation with operational control, meeting the demands of governance teams and regulators, and building the verifiable guardrails needed to move from pilot to production. The discussion will explore why Confidential AI is becoming foundational for enterprises that need to operationalize AI without compromising governance, auditability, or trust.
