#159 AI Governance While Scaling

Author: Venkata"Raghu Banda" December 26, 2025 Duration: 55:15

In this episode of XTraw AI, we explore how to build AI systems that don’t collapse when they leave the lab. Enterprise Service Management strategist Noureddine Oirkha shares lessons from government and large-scale transformations on designing AI that is scalable, governed, and sustainable.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why most AI pilots fail to scale — and how to avoid creating technical and organizational debt

  • How reference architectures, versioning, and decision logs prevent brittle automations and expensive rebuilds

  • Practical frameworks for operationalizing AI at scale across governments and large enterprises

Perfect for leaders moving from experiments to enterprise-wide AI programs.
