AI Risk Is Mostly Not New with Michael Machado
AI has technically been around for years. What changed is not the math, it is the front door. Suddenly anyone in the organization can touch it, feed it data, and make decisions with it and that shift in accessibility is rewriting business risk.
In this episode of ClearTech Loop, Jo Peterson sits down with Michael Machado, CISO and Chief Data Officer at Hyland, to break down a calm, practical truth CISOs need right now. Most of the AI risk conversation is not new. The disciplines are familiar. Visibility. Data movement. Accountability. Audit trails. Resilience. What is different is the speed and the number of people who can now participate in risk without realizing it.
The conversation focuses on leadership realities, not hype:
- Why there is risk in doing things and risk in not doing things
- How AI accessibility changes governance pressure inside enterprises
- Why governance should start with business goals, not tools
- What it means to build an AI governance model that is multi department by design
- Why CISOs should measure adoption and value signals, not only exposure

Key Quotes
“Waves of technology come. Cloud, SaaS, mobile, AI. The muscles we flex are things we have seen before.”
Michael Machado
“There’s a risk of doing things and a risk of not doing things, and it’s important to strike a balance when we’re having that conversation.”
Michael Machado
Three Big Ideas from This Episode
- AI risk is not new, accessibility is
The models are not the headline. The fact that anyone can use them is. That changes how quickly data moves and how quickly decisions get made. - Governance starts with the business problem
Tool first governance creates policies that look responsible and work poorly. Start with the objective, map the data movement, then apply controls that support the mission. - Measure value analytics alongside risk analytics
It is not enough to track what could go wrong. CISOs also need visibility into whether tools are being used and whether adoption is producing meaningful value.
