The Risk Factor Ep 3 | AI in High-Risk Industries: Innovation or Operational Risk?

Описание: AI is accelerating how organisations build, test and deploy new ideas. What once took months can now take days.

That speed creates real opportunity. It also demands stronger discipline.

In this episode of The Risk Factor, Arrash Nekonam, CTO at COMET, is joined by Jaye Deighton, Global Head of ICT & Innovation at Peterson Control Union, and serial entrepreneur Steve Shearman to explore the tension at the heart of AI adoption.

One technology. Two truths.

AI can unlock insight, efficiency and competitive advantage. It can also expose weaknesses in governance, data quality and decision-making frameworks if organisations move faster than they understand.

Together, they discuss:

• The pressure to “do something” with AI
• The gap between innovation and governance
• Why data foundations matter more than ever
• The discipline required when intelligent systems influence decisions

At the centre of the conversation is a simple but important question:

Is our governance evolving as quickly as our technology?

AI can surface insights at scale. It can assist judgement and accelerate progress. But it does not replace discipline or human expertise.

If you are shaping strategy, approving investment, or deploying AI in operational or high-stakes environments, this episode offers a practical perspective grounded in real-world experience.
