BIOGRAPHY
For conference programs
Dr. Freddie Seba is an AI governance keynote speaker, author, and scholar-operator helping boards, trustees, and executive leaders translate fast-moving AI risk into fiduciary-ready oversight, practical policy, and governance infrastructure that holds under scrutiny.
He brings more than twenty years of experience as a Silicon Valley founder and global executive across digital health, fintech, and higher education — combined with doctoral-level research on AI governance in institutional settings. His work bridges the gap that most AI conversations leave open: between the principles organizations adopt and the governance they can actually defend.
Dr. Seba is the author of Ungoverned: AI Minimum Viable Governance, which introduces the AI MVG framework — a compact, deployable oversight structure inspired by the Silicon Valley “minimum viable product” discipline and grounded in twelve evidence-based governance principles drawn from doctoral research across sectors. The book is designed for institutional leaders who cannot wait for the perfect policy: board members, trustees, provosts, compliance officers, and senior executives navigating AI adoption in regulated and high-stakes environments.
He is also the creator of The Seba 12 Ps of Responsible AI Oversight ©, a proprietary governance framework validated across healthcare, higher education, and financial services, and applied at institutions preparing for the agentic AI era — when AI systems stop assisting and start acting.
His keynote on ethical AI integration in clinical practice was selected from more than 330 competitive submissions for the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) 2025 Clinical Informatics Conference, where he presented to a multidisciplinary audience of clinicians, technologists, administrators, and academics. He has also presented at the University of San Francisco’s GenAI in Higher Education Symposium, where faculty, board members, and students examined responsible AI adoption across institutional settings.
Dr. Seba publishes AI Ethics & Governance for Leaders, Boards & Trustees (59+ issues) and hosts the companion podcast AI Governance with Dr. Freddie Seba, available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and Substack. His writing and research translate practitioner signals into board-ready oversight: AI inventory, risk tiering, vendor accountability, monitoring, and incident preparedness.
He holds an EdD from the University of San Francisco, an MBA from Yale University, and an MA from Stanford University. He served as a board chair and advisor to venture-backed organizations, and held senior, board-level roles within a global technology multinational.
He is based in San Francisco and available for keynotes, workshops, board briefings, media commentary, and podcast interviews worldwide.
