Advisor and Author on AI Value, Governance and Accountability

Despite growing AI investment and technical progress, executives struggle to clearly explain what AI is delivering, who owns the outcomes, and whether the organization can trust what it is building.
Edosa Odaro describes this challenge as the AI Value Fog: a state where AI activity is high, but clarity is low. Value fractures across economic, strategic, operational, human, and societal dimensions, leaving stakeholders aligned in intention but divided in understanding.
In this joint webinar, Edosa Odaro, author of The Values of Artificial Intelligence, and Nicolas Averseng, Chief Product Officer at DataGalaxy, explore why this fog forms and how leading organizations are cutting through it.
Edosa will ground the discussion in the core ideas of his book and real-world examples, explaining how organizations unintentionally lose value by assuming alignment rather than designing for it.
Nicolas will then build on these insights by showing how AI value becomes operational. As AI initiatives multiply, leaders need more than reports or dashboards; they need an operating model that makes AI initiatives, ownership, dependencies, governance, and value explicit. Portfolio and value management provide the visibility required to move from fragmented efforts to coordinated execution.
Together, they will demonstrate how making AI value visible enables better decisions, stronger governance, and sustained impact — without adding complexity or more slides.
