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.

Kat and Pete take to the Melbourne office golf course to discuss four game-changing shifts in how organisations are thinking about the role of technology - because nothing says “serious business” like holding a putter while talking about AI.

In between questionable golf swings and champagne references, they share real stories from the field, ideas that might just blow up your old playbook, and a few jokes that should probably have been left in the clubhouse.

⛳️ If you’re still playing by the old rules, this is your official intervention.

We all know someone who thinks GenAI can do literally everything (probably the same person who says “let’s circle back” in every meeting). 🙄

In our latest episode, Pete & Kat dive into:

✅ Why “AI-washing” is the new greenwashing
✅ Use cases that ACTUALLY matter (and save your weekends!)
✅ How guardrails and trust will make or break your AI strategy
✅ Why the future is human-led, AI-augmented

If you’re still waiting on the platform, this train is leaving the station FAST. Winners won’t be those with the flashiest tools - they’ll be the ones with trustworthy AI and people on board.

Did your CRM promise a utopia but delivered a fancy Rolodex with a UX degree?

Join Pete and Kat as they bravely poke the sacred cow of CRM and ask the tough questions like:

❓ Why does your telco need seven days and a séance to fix your modem? 
❓ Why does your virtual agent sound like a confused intern filling out a colour chart?
❓ And why does it still take 5.2 days to solve a problem that should take 30 minutes?

It’s the CRM roast you didn’t know you needed - with real data, real frustration, and a really broken Wi-Fi modem.

🧠 Expect:

• Insights from the customer service research report
• Tales of tech trauma and loyalty on life support
• A vision for fixing the “messy middle” with workflow orchestration and GenAI
• ...and a heartfelt plea: "Do it for Kat. Please. She’s still on hold."

In this episode of the ServiceNow Executive Circle podcast, Kat Finch sits down with Alex Hunter — global brand expert and former Global Head of Digital at Virgin Group — for a fast-paced, deeply insightful conversation on customer experience, AI, and why brand trust still matters more than ever.

Drawing on stories from his time launching Virgin America to helping brands today navigate generative AI, Alex urges businesses to start with the problem, not the platform. He explores how AI can be used to deepen human connection, not dilute it, and why the brands that succeed are those that focus on making life easier — not noisier — for their customers.

Whether you're in marketing, digital, or C-suite leadership, this is a masterclass in keeping brand experiences human at a time when everything feels increasingly automated.
