Episode #7: AI Under Ambiguity — Constraints as Governance Parameters for Responsible AI Innovation and Entrepreneurship

In this episode of AI Governance with Dr. Freddie Seba, Freddie sits down with Dr. Johnathan Cromwell, Associate Professor and Faculty Director of the Entrepreneurship & Innovation (E&I) Initiative at the University of San Francisco, to examine how AI is changing the innovation equation—and what ethical governance looks like when leaders are operating under ambiguity.

AI flips traditional problem-solving on its head. Instead of starting with a clearly defined problem and searching for a solution, teams increasingly start with powerful, pre-built capabilities. The leadership challenge becomes deciding where to apply them, how to evaluate outcomes, and which constraints (governance parameters) must be in place before scaling.

Actionable insights for boards, trustees, and executive leadership:
A practical value map for AI initiatives: exploit existing value, expand value, explore new value
Why small, well-designed experiments beat big bets—and how data design prevents "signal" that is really just noise
How to treat constraints as governance parameters: acceptable use, data boundaries, privacy/security, human decision points, logging/auditability, and escalation paths when systems fail quietly
Why governance must tighten as autonomy increases, especially for agentic and embodied AI
What AI literacy looks like as an operating requirement, not a training checkbox
Why partnering with academia can strengthen strategy, evaluation, and oversight
