The Bridgecast with Scott Kinka · 2026-05-19 · 42 min
In this episode of The Bridgecast, host Scott Kinka welcomes Reggie Townsend, Vice President of AI Ethics, Governance, and Social Impact at SAS, for a wide-ranging conversation about what it truly means to build AI that organizations - and society - can trust. Reggie brings something rare to the AI ethics conversation: a commercial backbone. After years at Motorola, IBM, and Sun Microsystems before joining SAS eleven years ago, he approaches responsible AI not as an academic exercise but as a practical business imperative. His core thesis? Doing well and doing good are not mutually exclusive - and organizations that treat ethics as purely defensive are leaving enormous strategic value on the table.
