Organizations today face unprecedented pressures: faster business cycles, rising regulatory expectations, and increasingly complex third-party and reputational risks. This session, led by Xapien’s Jessica Denny, explores how to approach the integration of AI into due diligence and compliance processes, helping teams make informed, defensible decisions while maintaining speed and accuracy. Attendees will learn practical frameworks for assessing readiness, gaining buy-in, and moving from one level of maturity to the next—whether you have a homegrown tool, a sophisticated system, or are evaluating AI solutions for the first time.
Strengthen and invigorate your organization’s approach to ethical leadership with an interactive deep dive into lessons from game-based learning, ethical skill-building (beyond compliance), and AI. In this session, the team behind the award-winning game Quandary will demonstrate how research-backed game mechanics and AI chatbot learning tools can build durable “ethical muscle memory.” With a particular focus on the game’s recent innovations in AI ethics, Shelly London (former senior corporate executive, long-time NYU Stern adjunct professor, and Quandary founder) and Scot Osterweil (MIT Education Arcade, Learning Games Network) will lead a conversation on equipping employees with the skills to navigate high-stakes challenges that have no one “right” answer. Attendees will leave with a thoroughly research-backed framework for using serious play to drive employee engagement, mitigate risk, and foster ethical decision-making skills up and down the corporate ladder. Additionally, participants will gain exclusive early access to explore Quandary’s new ethics learning tools.
