AI doesn’t need better models. It needs braver leaders willing to trust, govern, and scale it.

Right now, most enterprises are stuck—not because the technology isn’t ready, but because leadership hasn’t defined who owns AI decisions, when humans should intervene, or how to move beyond isolated pilots to enterprise-wide impact.

In our latest research with Altimetrik, HFS found a widening “AI velocity gap” where AI deployment is accelerating, but leadership, governance, and workforce readiness are falling behind.

Join our CEO and Chief Analyst Phil Fersht, HFS Executive Research Leader Dana Daher, Paul Daugherty, Technology CEO/CTO, Board Director, Investor, and Author, and Raj Sundaresan, CEO of Altimetrik, for a candid, executive-level discussion on what’s holding enterprises back from scaling AI beyond pilots into real business outcomes, and how to move from assistants to truly scalable, accountable AI.

Altimetrik’s work with Fortune 500 enterprises on scaling AI from pilot to production informs the panel’s view on what separates the companies closing the velocity gap from those falling further behind.

What you’ll learn

• Why enterprise AI is advancing faster than leadership readiness
• What the “AI velocity gap” means and why it’s widening
• Why “human in the loop” isn’t governance and what actually works
• How leadership hesitation—not technology—is holding enterprises back
• What it takes to move from assistants to truly autonomous, enterprise-scale AI

You’ll gain insights on

• Why only 14% of organizations have a clear AI strategy with defined outcomes

• How accountability is misaligned—owned in technology but escalated to leadership when things fail
• Why most enterprises cannot fully interrogate AI decisions before approving them
• How fear—not capability—is the biggest barrier to workforce confidence
• Why accountability breaks down across partner ecosystems
• What leading organizations are doing differently to put humans truly at the helm

Why attend

This isn’t about AI capability, it’s about leadership readiness. Most organizations aren’t blocked by technology—they’re blocked by hesitation, unclear ownership, and a lack of trust in the systems they’ve already deployed.

This session will challenge how you think about AI and what it actually takes to lead it.
