AI innovation in regulated industries requires more than experimentation. It requires structure, governance, and accountability. In the final post of our three-part series, we break down how organizations can move beyond pilots and build responsible AI frameworks that stand up to regulatory review, internal scrutiny, and long-term operational demands. This post brings clarity to a crowded AI landscape and outlines a governance-forward approach to AI adoption. If responsible AI is on your 2026 roadmap, this is worth bookmarking. We cover how regulated organizations can assess risk early, identify the right use cases, remain technology agnostic, and embed auditability and oversight directly into the AI lifecycle. 👉 Read Part 3: Key risks and how to navigate them: https://bit.ly/4pTBeS1 📘 Go deeper with our guide to navigating AI in regulated industries: https://bit.ly/3MRjOGX We’ll be sharing more on AI strategy and governance in the new year. If you’re planning ahead or want to pressure-test your approach, we’re happy to connect.

Last week at AI Summit NYC 2025, we had the opportunity to host and participate in meaningful conversations on where commerce and technology are headed next. Alongside Commerce and PayPal, we hosted an interactive lunch focused on how buying and selling are evolving as intelligent systems increasingly guide discovery, decision-making, and checkout. The discussion centered on real, in-market shifts, including: 🚀 How brands are preparing for a world where digital agents act on behalf of buyers 🚀 The move from traditional product feeds to data built for emerging agentic channels 🚀 What agentic checkout looks like in practice across B2C and B2B 🚀 How data, commerce platforms, and payments must work together to support connected buying experiences The takeaway was clear: agentic commerce is not a future concept. It is already reshaping how brands connect with customers across every surface. Across the broader conference, one theme stood out: AI conversations have moved beyond possibility to what happens at scale. ⚫ Enterprises are shifting from experimentation to production ⚫ Governance, accountability, and control layers are now essential ⚫ AI is becoming embedded directly into workflows ⚫ Data readiness and execution matter more than novelty We are grateful for the conversations we had and the face-to-face time with our partners throughout the week. If you’re wondering how your organization can prepare for this next phase of AI and commerce, let's connect.
