Dr. Alaina Beaver, ServiceNow's Global Head of Accessibility, is our guest on the podcast to discuss the latest developments in accessibility. Dr. Beaver explains that the world of accessibility is constantly evolving, and it's not a one-time task, but rather an ongoing process. She highlights that ServiceNow has made significant progress in accessibility, particularly with regards to conformance standards.

Publicly, ServiceNow has committed to aligning with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA, the most stringent guidelines globally for accessibility conformance. This is an upgrade from the previous standard, WCAG 2.1 AA, which is still adhered to by many legislations worldwide. Dr. Beaver notes that the new standard, WCAG 2.2 AA, was released recently, and it will take time for legislation to catch up.

Governing AI – Welcome to AI Control Tower
Episode Overview 

Governance accelerates AI success. Control enables innovation. In this premiere episode, we explore how ServiceNow governs AI at scale through AI Control Tower, a groundbreaking solution that transforms how enterprises manage their artificial intelligence landscape. 

Host Bobby Brill brings together three visionary leaders. They reveal the hidden AI sprawl within enterprises. They expose the risks. And they illuminate a path forward - one where governance and innovation dance in perfect harmony, where control mechanisms become the very foundation of sustainable AI transformation. 

The Conversation
AI is everywhere. Sometimes visible, often hidden, always expanding. Our experts navigate the complex terrain of enterprise AI governance, from shadow AI implementations that operate beyond IT oversight to the regulatory frameworks demanding immediate attention. Ravi Krishnamurthy, Vice President of Product Management for AI Platform and Responsible AI, unveils AI Control Tower—a solution that brings clarity to chaos. Sampada Chavan, Senior Principal Product Manager, demonstrates how regulatory compliance becomes achievable through systematic governance. Peter Weigt, Sr. Director of Inbound Product Management for Responsible AI, challenges conventional thinking about the innovation paradox and reveals governance as the strategic enabler organizations desperately need. 

Discovery meets responsibility. Compliance meets creativity. Control meets capability.
