Rekha goes on to explain how organizations can safely integrate AI into mission-critical operations by focusing on transparency, visibility, and responsible use cases. Watch and learn why AI should make suggestions rather than take actions independently, with Rekha highlighting the importance of building trust through open and explainable systems.
