AI Governance Podcast - AI Governance Across Borders with Sunil Gregory & Anindya Sircar

This episode of the AI Governance Podcast features Sunil Gregory [https://www.linkedin.com/in/sunil-gregory-6224548/] and Dr. Anindya Sircar [https://www.linkedin.com/in/anindyasircar/]. Sunil is at Cognizant, where he works with Fortune 500 enterprises on AI governance strategy and operating-model design. Anindya is the IPR Chair at NALSAR University of Law in Hyderabad, having previously run intellectual property at Biocon and Infosys. Together they are co-authors of the AI Governance Handbook (Springer, 2025) and are working on a follow-up that argues regulators are over-engineering the response to AI. Sunil and Anindya joined Enzai's Matt McCallum [https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-b-mccallum/] to discuss: The Structural Fix for Shadow AI: Sunil's three-layer model - consolidation, structured funded portfolio, and governance built into the development lifecycle - for CIOs whose AI budgets have already exhausted on pilots that haven't graduated. The IP Inventory Test: Anindya's "smoke detector in a building without a sprinkler system" framing for enterprise IP exposure programs - and the connected inventory question every governance team should be able to answer. Industrialised Inconsistency in Data: Why AI breaks what analytics didn't - when the human silently fixing the data is removed from the loop, every ambiguity surfaces as a wrong answer, a hallucination, or a critical legal exposure. India's Deliberate Choice: Why Western enterprise leaders most often misread India's DPDP Act as underdeveloped - and what they miss when they treat the principle-based framework as a strategic asset rather than a gap. Doctrine Over New Statute: A preview of Sunil and Anindya's follow-up book - and the case for extending existing legal doctrines (IP, privacy, accountability, sovereignty, human dignity) rather than inventing new AI-specific frameworks.

Governing Digital Remains with Dr. Carl Öhman

This episode of the AI Governance Podcast features Dr. Carl Öhman. Carl is an Associate Senior Lecturer at Uppsala University and the author of the 2024 book, The Afterlife of Data. He is one of the world's leading experts on the "digital afterlife industry" and the ethics of our informational remains. Carl joined Enzai's Matt McCallum to discuss: The "Informational Body": Why we need to treat our digital footprint as a persistent extension of ourselves that outlasts our physical lives. The Regulatory Gap: Why rights under frameworks like the GDPR "cease" at the moment of death, and the governance vacuum this creates for digital remains. Narrative Capture: The dangerous situation where a single individual or tech giant can own the entire historical narrative of movements like #MeToo through the purchase of platform data. Digital Colonialism: The economic incentives that could lead to the preservation of Western history while the digital records of the Global South are erased to save server space. Gods of Data: A preview of Carl's upcoming work on how LLMs collapse our collective ancestors into a singular "divine" presence, and the risks of outsourcing human decision-making to "perfect" machines.
