Topic: Shadow AI: Why It Shows Up and How to Win It Back

Speaker: Matt McKenzie

Overview: Most organizations already have shadow AI, people quietly using unsanctioned tools because the approved path is slower or doesn't exist. This talk looks at the behavioral reasons people reach for those tools, why bans tend to fail, and how to make the sanctioned option genuinely the easiest and most valuable one. We'll cover what counts as compliant in CUI and CMMC environments, from GCC High and GovCloud models to private, air-gapped deployments, so you can enable your people without widening your risk.

Bio: Matt McKenzie is the CEO of Meaningful AI and a technology entrepreneur with a 25-year career leading AI, data science, and software initiatives for organizations including Toyota North America, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Nucor, and Kimberly Clark. Today his firm helps organizations put AI to work securely and practically, with engagements across highly regulated industries including utilities like Southern Company. He co-founded Alloy Digital and is certified in AI Business Strategy from Johns Hopkins.
