AI is already being used by business units, support staff, developers, and management—often without the IT department’s knowledge. This “shadow AI” exposes the company to data leaks, non-compliance risks, and costs that are difficult to control.

How can we regain control without stifling innovation or imposing additional constraints on business units?

This session presents a practical strategy, starting with the cloud foundation: ensuring control over where models run, where data flows, and what access is granted to agents. Discover how a Cloud & AI Factory—a private, sovereign platform—enables the deployment of assistants, agents, and AI applications in a controlled and auditable environment.

Mapping usage patterns, pragmatic governance, IT system integration, and monitoring: leave with a roadmap for transitioning from “Shadow AI” to production-ready AI services managed by the IT department.
