March 17 Data Science Community – Governance as a Multiplier: Enhancing Quality, Speed, and Trust in AI

Join the Data Science Community on Tuesday, March 17, 2026 at 1:00 PM CT for a presentation with Q&A/open discussion on, “Governance as a Multiplier: Enhancing Quality, Speed, and Trust in AI” led by Raj Arumugam, AI Governance Analyst, Senior Staff at Entergy.

Session Description:

This session reframes AI Governance as an accelerator—not a barrier—for data science teams by breaking it into practical, actionable components that naturally align with the data science lifecycle. Participants will explore how governance checkpoints integrate from exploration through monitoring, with real examples of embedding fairness, explainability, documentation, drift detection, and other guardrails directly into development workflows. Rather than adding friction, governance practices, lightweight templates, and automation techniques help reduce rework, improve model reliability, streamline approvals, and enable faster, safer deployment. Through real‑world practices and governance‑enabled workflows, attendees will learn how to build responsibly without slowing innovation, with time at the end for discussion and practical takeaways.
