Julie Gilbert to Keynote the AI Builders Global Conference
On October 14 at 10:50 a.m. ET, Julie Gilbert will deliver a keynote at the AI Builders Global Conference 2026, a fully virtual gathering of the engineers, enterprise leaders, founders and investors building with AI.
Her session: "AI: Achieving True Quantifiable Enterprise Value within Human Values: The Board–C-Suite–Builder Operating System."
AI never clocks out. Is your enterprise built to turn it into value?
The keynote sets out the board and C-suite mandate for growth, ROI, customer experience and continuous governance.
Don't wait for policy mandates. With OpenAI's Dots and other continuously operating AI agents, work can continue after humans sign off. Leaders must determine how to implement AI, deliver measurable returns, and improve customer experience while maintaining clear human ownership and accountability.
Five gates from AI capability to enterprise value
Designed for board directors, CEOs and C-suite executives, the keynote introduces five gates for converting AI capability into enterprise value:
- Strategic relevance
- Executive ownership
- Operating readiness
- Continuous governance
- Measurable results
Participants will learn how to prioritize use cases, redesign workflows, prepare teams, and scale AI to generate revenue growth, productivity, and cost savings while strengthening service, personalization, and customer loyalty. The session will also examine how company ownership structures shape implementation, and how leaders must update governance, decision authority, monitoring, and escalation as AI assumes greater responsibility.
Work can be delegated. Accountability cannot.
Key takeaways
- Continuous board governance best practice that supports responsible deployment and sustained value.
- A practical framework for implementing and scaling AI around business and customer priorities.
- An ROI scorecard connecting financial returns with customer experience improvements.
- Clear ownership and decision authority across the board, C-suite, and operating teams.
