GXA® AI Foundation Series
Three Sessions on Adopting AI Without Risking the Business
AI moved into your business faster than the policies, guardrails, and know-how to run it safely. This free series gives business leaders the governance, the buying decision, and the operating plan — 96 minutes total, all three recordings, no email required.
Now playing: Part 1 — AI Policy, Shadow AI & Who Owns Governance · 36 min · Recorded June 26, 2026
The GXA AI Foundation Series is a free three-part webinar series for business leaders on adopting AI without risking the business or wasting the budget. Part 1 covers AI policy, shadow AI, and who owns governance — leadership signs the policy, funds the infrastructure, and accepts accountability for AI outcomes. Part 2 covers choosing between Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini and Grok, what licensing tiers actually change, and the three reasons AI spend creeps. Part 3 covers operating AI after go-live: controls, monitoring, incident response, and a monthly, quarterly, and annual review cadence. All three recordings are free to watch here with no registration.

Questions
About the Series
What is the GXA AI Foundation Series?
A free three-part webinar series for business leaders on adopting AI without risking the business or wasting the budget. Part 1 covers AI policy, shadow AI, and who owns governance. Part 2 covers choosing models, licensing tiers, and controlling cost. Part 3 covers operating AI after go-live: controls, monitoring, incident response, and review cadence. All three sessions were recorded live in 2026 and are now free to watch on demand, with no registration required.
Do I have to register or give my email to watch?
No. All three recordings play in full on this page and on GXA’s YouTube channel with no form and no email gate. The only form on the page is an optional request for a complimentary 30-minute AI readiness call.
How long does the full series take to watch?
About 96 minutes across the three sessions — roughly 36, 30, and 31 minutes, each including live audience Q&A. Every session stands on its own, so you can start with whichever question is most pressing.
In what order should I watch the AI Foundation Series?
Part 1, then 2, then 3, if you are starting from scratch — the arc runs from policy to buying decision to day-to-day operations. If AI is already in use across your business and you need controls now, Part 3 stands alone. If a vendor quote is on your desk this week, start with Part 2.
Is there another live session coming?
The AI Foundation Series is complete. GXA runs practical sessions for Dallas-Fort Worth business leaders throughout the year — the events page lists what is live and what is available on demand.
