In this interview, as part of our ongoing series examining how leaders across functions are managing and incorporating AI, Heidrick & Struggles’ Julian Ha spoke to Miriam Vogel the president and CEO of EqualAI, which is a nonprofit organization created to promote artificial intelligence governance.

Miriam, who has extensive experience working with C-suites and boards and the government to help them establish best practices for legal regulatory compliance, as well as operationalizing those best practices, discusses the ways that leaders of all kinds have become much more AI literate with respect to potential harms and litigation risks, and how they are mitigating liability as well as avoiding those harm to companies, individuals, and communities. She also shares what she’s excited about when it comes to the future of AI, what it means to her to lead in an AI-enabled world, and how she believes that leaders must balance guardrails and innovation, so that their organizations remain competitive, ensure there's trust in AI systems, and that those AI systems deserve our trust.
