In a recent podcast episode (https://www.tessl.io/podcast/adapting-your-team-culture-for-ai-devops-lessons-learned-with-hannah-foxwell) where Hannah Foxwell compares lessons learnt with DevOps to allow AI to be adopted easier. Part of it got me thinking about how successful(?) some security champions programs have been in getting app security in particular adopted across development teams, as well as the more company wide need to increase education about basic security hygiene.
Should we use this exact same model with AI Champions? It feels like a lot could be learnt from the way Security Champions programs pulls parts of the org together, particularly where critical guardrails/guidelines are needed.
Should we use Security Champions programs as a template for an AI Champions program? My gut feel is yes and this is needed, and Security Champions programs are for me one of the better ways to achieve this.
