FILED Talks:

Most AI governance conversations focus on large enterprises with dedicated compliance teams and deep pockets. But what does responsible AI adoption actually look like for a small, agile tech company—where everyone juggles multiple roles and the stakes remain high?

‍

In this episode, RecordPoint CEO Anthony Woodward talks with MentorLoop CTO Tracy Bongiorno about how a lean team developed a practical, people-first approach to AI governance. They discuss cataloging shadow AI use, creating approved tool lists, navigating the EU AI Act, managing sensitive personal data in an AI-driven matching algorithm, and ensuring humans remain involved as the product evolves toward agentic workflows.

This is an honest, down-to-earth conversation about building governance from the ground up in real time, without a team of lawyers to support you.
