AI Without the Hype: A Former Health Plan CISO's Reality Check

Presented by

Rick Doten, Former Health Plan CISO and AI Governance Leader, and Stewart Tinson, Project Director of AI-360

About this talk

Why does every CISO who turns on Microsoft Copilot discover broken SharePoint permissions within hours? Why demand 99.9% AI accuracy while accepting 60-70% from humans? And why are security leaders still worried about problems they should have solved two years ago? Stewart Tinson speaks with Rick Doten, former CISO of a major US health insurance company and advisor to six AI security startups weekly, for an unfiltered reality check. Rick dismantles the mythology that ChatGPT represents "day zero" of AI, explains why organizations confuse agents with agentic AI, and talks about Model Context Protocol utilizing JSON over RCP—service-oriented architecture from 2005. You'll learn: • Why AI exposes existing security problems rather than creating new ones • The critical agent vs agentic AI distinction determining security implications • How AI code generates 50x volume requiring 5x more scrutiny • Why 95% project failure rates miss the point about necessary iteration • What boards actually need: strategy, compliance, security—not technical details Key topics: A2A communication expansion • Copilot permission failures • MCP as API gateway • AI-assisted vs vibe coding • Business impact assessment • Bias as human problem • Seven-gated remediation • Formula 1 governance • Education gap • Third-party risk • Maturity progression • Drift vs misalignment Whether building AI governance frameworks, managing deployments, or advising boards on strategy, this delivers honest perspective from someone who's seen every implementation pattern and rookie mistake.

The trusted source for enterprise AI insight and strategy
AI-360 explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping the enterprise — from strategy and infrastructure to governance and innovation. Our mission is to give business and technology leaders the clarity and context they need to deploy AI responsibly, securely, and at scale. We cover the full enterprise AI lifecycle — from the models and platforms driving transformation, to the data pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and compliance frameworks that make it possible. Our analysis examines how organisations are integrating AI into their operations, how governance, risk, and compliance requirements are evolving, and how leadership teams can balance innovation with accountability. While our primary focus is enterprise AI, we also track select developments in consumer AI, where breakthroughs often foreshadow trends that will soon shape business adoption and public expectations. Through independent journalism, expert interviews, and industry insights, AI-360 connects the dots between technology, policy, and real-world impact. Our goal is to equip decision-makers with practical intelligence to build, govern, and grow with AI, responsibly and sustainably.
