In this episode, Dr. Oscar A. Rodriguez, Vice President of Data Analytics at Citi, joins Daniel Faggella, Emerj CEO and Head of Research, to describe how leaders build the operating model for safe AI at scale, from aligning stakeholders to embedding governance, accountability, and data quality from the start. The discussion highlights practical decisions around cross‑functional alignment, foundation‑first governance, risk ownership, and preparing for evolving regulatory and security demands.
