What is AI Really Costing Your Organization?
AI is moving fast. Most organizations don't have a clear view of what it's actually costing them, not just in cloud spend, but hidden usage, risk and complexity.
Join Tusker experts Amy Haschak, Principal of Finops, and Rod Kahl, Director of Cybersecurity, for an executive session on how to bring control to AI cost, governance, and risk followed by a three-course lunch and peer discussion.
The Reality
AI introduces new layers of cost and exposure:
- Hidden AI spend from unapproved tools and usage
- Rapid growth in API, data movement, and compute costs
- Unpredictable model usage that breaks traditional cost models
- Security and compliance risks from data exposure and AI workflows
- Where costs are coming from—and how to control them without slowing progress
As AI scales, the cost of intelligence becomes financial, operational, and security-driven.
What You’ll Learn
- Where AI spend is actually coming from, and where it's hiding
- How to reduce costs without slowing down progress
- How to align IT, finance, and security to manage AI at scale
Why Attend
This session is about one thing: control.
You’ll leave with a clearer view of your AI cost exposure, practical ways to reduce unnecessary spend, and a framework to manage AI with confidence as it grows.

AI can create advantage, but unmanaged, it creates risk.
Organizations that get ahead will understand both.
