In this episode, Lee speaks with Declan Bright, Chief Technology Officer and AI Officer at Oneview Healthcare. Declan brings a rare combination of deep technical expertise and practical governance experience, having led Oneview to become one of the first organizations in Ireland to achieve ISO 42001 certification, the international standard for AI management systems.
The conversation goes straight to the heart of what it actually takes to govern AI inside a complex, regulated organization. From building an AI policy from the ground up to navigating the overlap between ISO 42001 and the EU AI Act, this episode is grounded in real decisions, real trade-offs and real outcomes.
We also explore why shadow AI flourishes when governance gets it wrong, how to bring AI safely into the software development lifecycle, and why giving senior executives a Copilot and calling it an AI strategy is, in Declan’s words, horrendously disastrous.
If you are responsible for AI adoption, technology governance or digital strategy in a regulated environment, this is a conversation you cannot afford to miss.
