AI holds enormous promise to transform organizations, from real-time efficiency optimization to truly predictive insights. Yet beneath the momentum, enterprise confidence is fragile, with a significant majority demanding far greater transparency into how their data is used.

In this session, we’ll explore how explainability, auditability, and governance must evolve alongside the algorithms themselves to unlock that trust. Ultimately, true AI maturity starts not with more models, but with robust frameworks that make AI reliable, safe, and accountable at scale. This is how we move from simply seeing AI’s potential to truly trusting its decisions.

Across the Middle East, organisations are accelerating investments in AI, analytics, and digital infrastructure. Yet new IDC research reveals a growing imbalance: while advanced technologies are rapidly adopted, data governance maturity is not keeping pace. This session explores what we call the “Governance Gap” and why it is emerging as one of the most critical challenges facing CIOs today. Drawing on IDC research and regional insights, we will examine the structural weaknesses in governance, metadata, and data quality that undermine AI initiatives and regulatory readiness. More importantly, we will discuss how organisations can move from periodic compliance exercises to embedded, operational data governance.
