AI in the Age of Regulation

AI in the Age of Regulation: How Regulated Industries Are Navigating the AI Governance Imperative

AI is already active in your Microsoft Teams environment. The question is no longer whether your organisation has adopted it, it is whether you are governing it.

In this session, Simon Peters, Director of Channel Sales for UK & EMEA at Smarsh, will cut through the noise on AI governance and give you a clear, practical view of what regulators across the EU, UK, and US are actually requiring from regulated organisations right now. With the EU AI Act's high-risk compliance deadline landing in August 2026 and the FCA embedding AI oversight into existing frameworks, the window for getting ahead of this is closing.

Simon will cover the governance gap that most organisations currently have, what AI-intelligent communications data looks like in practice, and the five questions every regulated business should be asking their AI vendor today.

Whether you work in financial services, legal, healthcare, or support customers who do, this session will give you the regulatory context, the commercial framing, and the practical tools to lead the AI governance conversation with confidence.
