In this episode of Advancing Talent Acquisition, Jenna Hinrichsen welcomes Guru Sethupathy, CEO of FairNow, to unpack what AI governance really means and why it’s more important than ever for organizations of all sizes. Guru breaks down his five pillars of AI governance, from risk assessment and human oversight to compliance and continuous monitoring, and explains how these frameworks protect companies from bias, regulatory pitfalls, and costly lawsuits like the Workday class action. They also explore the risks of deepfake job applicants, the debate over federal vs. state AI regulation, and why smart governance doesn’t slow innovation - it accelerates it.Connect with Jenna and Guru!
