The Artisan Approach to AI Governance with Karl Herbert Grabbi from Credo AI

This conversation blends philosophy, product, and enterprise realities. Karl frames AI as an extension of human creativity and flourishing, urging leaders to ground governance in purpose and the humanities. He unpacks concrete deliverables from governance engagements such as configured workflows, knowledge graphs, control libraries, and integrations with cloud developer platforms, and highlights unsolved problems like reliably measuring agent ROI and telemetry. The episode closes with a humane reminder: translate values into code to govern in real time, then use the gains from AI to spend time on what matters most.

Bio: Karl Herbert Grabbi is the Director of Global Advisory Services at Credo AI, where he leads a team of forward-deployed AI governance engineers working inside enterprises to operationalize trustworthy AI. His work sits at the intersection of innovation, risk management, and human judgment, built on the belief that durable AI governance has to be as much about values and craftsmanship as it is about frameworks and code.
