## Description
Your team is likely already using AI whether you like it or not. The only question is whether you know what they’re typing into it. Most AI governance advice is written for Fortune 500s with 50-person compliance teams. Small and mid-sized businesses don’t need a 100-page framework; they just need a few sensible guardrails so people can work faster without accidentally leaking IP. Come join us as we sit down to map out the pragmatic middle ground: The "Shadow AI" reality: What to do about the free tools your staff are already using quietly. Build, Buy, or Subscribe ? Figuring out the most cost-effective tier for SMEs. The "ROI" reality check: Who is actually making money or saving time with this, and how do you measure it ? Simple AI Governance Foundations: What are the absolute essentials a growing business needs to stay secure ? Employee AI awareness and training: How to get your team up to speed on safe AI practices without forcing them to sit through dry compliance slides. Approved AI tools and usage policies: Drawing the line between safe, vetted tools and high-risk platforms your team should avoid. Data classification and protection: Defining what information is safe to feed into public AI models, and what must stay strictly private. Safe AI adoption checklist: A quick sanity check before letting your team integrate any new AI tool into their workflow. Find out how SMEs can provide a safe starting line, not just more AI philosophy.
