In this episode of the Tech Woke Podcast, host Christopher Okpala sits down with Markeisha Snaith to break down one of the most important topics in tech today: AI governance.


As artificial intelligence rapidly expands across government and enterprise environments, organizations are struggling to manage AI risk, AI security, AI compliance, and regulatory oversight. This conversation goes beyond surface level discussions of ethics and responsible AI and focuses on how real world AI governance frameworks are built and enforced.


We discuss what AI governance actually means, how it intersects with cybersecurity, GRC, RMF, and compliance, and why professionals in these spaces are uniquely positioned to lead AI governance efforts. Markeisha explains the security risks tied to AI systems, emerging regulatory expectations, and the skills organizations will demand as AI regulation continues to evolve.


This episode also explores career opportunities in AI governance, including how to break into the field without prior AI experience, certifications that matter, and how cybersecurity and compliance professionals can future proof their careers.


If you work in cybersecurity, risk management, governance, compliance, federal IT, or cloud security, or you want to position yourself early in a fast growing career path, this episode will give you the clarity and direction you need.
