Protecting Innovation: Mitigating the Hidden Risks of Emerging Tools - CTOCraftCon

I had the pleasure to present at ‪@CTOCraft‬ conference 2025 where I covered my activities around AI tooling with the company. AI-driven breakthroughs dominate headlines but also are quietly added to the products your teams use, while the hidden risks like cross-border data transfer, compliance pitfalls, and trust erosion linger in the shadows. Safeguarding innovation requires freedom, education and responsibility which is difficult to find the right balance. This session explores practical methods for early warning signs, building policies, clarifying organisational accountabilities and strategies around adopting emerging tools. See how Vention tackled these challenges for 3,000 employees across 12 countries that refine initiatives, reinforce secure practices, and keep innovation and risk management in sync.
