AI Readiness, Governance & Operational Integrity

Artificial intelligence is transforming every industry at unprecedented speed but successful AI adoption requires more than powerful models. It requires operational readiness, governance, accountability, and a strategy for deploying AI responsibly at scale.

In this AIM May 2026 Conference session, Anurag Sakhamuri, AI Deployment Engineer at OpenAI, and Lance French, CIO of RealPage, explore what it truly takes to operationalize AI in enterprise environments especially within highly regulated industries like multifamily housing.

The presentation goes beyond AI hype to deliver practical insights on:

• Why the real AI bottleneck is deployment not model capability
• How AI is evolving from chat tools into reasoning systems and autonomous agents
• The growing importance of governance, compliance, and operational oversight
• What “human-in-the-loop” really means in production environments
• How organizations can safely scale AI while maintaining trust and accountability
• Five actionable steps every enterprise should take to prepare for AI adoption

You’ll also hear RealPage’s perspective on building AI-powered workflows for multifamily operations, including leasing, resident engagement, facilities, finance, and operational coordination.

As AI rapidly reshapes industries, this session provides a grounded, executive-level conversation about what responsible enterprise AI deployment looks like and why organizations that fail to adapt risk being left behind.
