A new keynote presentation by Kumar Saurabh of Fiserv Inc. advocates for a shift from isolated project-based AI adoption to structured program management models when integrating artificial intelligence into critical IT infrastructure. The talk, titled "Strategic Program Management models for secure AI adoption in critical IT infrastructure," was published by the Soft Computing Research Society and emphasizes the need for governance-driven and adaptive approaches that balance innovation with resilience, regulatory compliance, and operational safety.
Saurabh's framework addresses the high-risk nature of deploying AI in essential systems, proposing a structured methodology that prioritizes security and long-term stability alongside technological advancement. The presentation calls for comprehensive program management strategies rather than ad hoc projects, ensuring that AI adoption aligns with organizational goals and regulatory requirements.
