Data Governance, AI, and IT Security in Regulated Energy

Thursday, June 25
1:00 - 1:45 p.m. Central Time

This webinar brings together practitioners who have navigated decisions on software and AI evaluation from different vantage points: Becky Blalock, Managing Partner of Advisory Capital and former SVP & CIO of Southern Company, and Qing Liu, Chief Information Officer of Oregon Public Utility Commission. Moderated by Allison Myers of HData, they will discuss software and AI evaluation, including data architecture, access controls, security certifications, and risk considerations.

The session will cover:

• AI evaluation: software and AI reviews, required certifications, and contractual and technical standards
• Data practices and security architecture: what enterprise-grade AI should require around data
• Risk signals and AI-specific governance: traditional security reviews and AI, third-party dependencies, and standards like SOC 2 and ISO 42001

If you're building an AI governance framework from scratch or refining an existing review process, this session will deliver insight from people who have done it in regulated energy.
