In this episode, co-hosts Emma McGrattan and Ole Olesen-Bagneux sit down with Dia Adams, Chief Data & AI Officer, former Principal Data Consultant at the White House, and Board Chair of The AI Table, to explore how AI policy is evolving in the United States and what it means for enterprises.

Drawing on her government experience and work with Fortune 500 AI executives, Dia brings a unique perspective to a technology evolving faster than the policies meant to govern it. As organizations accelerate AI adoption and regulators struggle to keep pace, she argues that effective governance requires a better understanding of how AI is actually being implemented across industries.

Together, they explore:

• Why AI is creating an unprecedented moment for US policymakers
• The challenges of navigating a fragmented regulatory landscape without a comprehensive national AI framework
• Why enterprise practitioners need a stronger voice in shaping responsible AI policies
• How AI is reshaping the responsibilities of data professionals and the leadership role of Chief Data Officers
• What the next generation of proactive, agentic AI could mean for enterprises and society

They also discuss The AI Table's role in connecting enterprise experience with policymaking, the tension between innovation and regulation, and why Dia remains a pragmatic optimist about AI's future.

🎧 Tune in for a conversation on the realities of US AI policymaking, the responsibilities of enterprise data leaders, and how to balance innovation, accountability, and responsible AI adoption.
