Summary: Amex GBT builds its AI governance around trust, according to its privacy lead. For business travel, that is where the real edge sits.

## Article

Amex GBT is not just a software, payments and meetings company for business travel. It also sells trust. And its chief privacy officer has told [Skift](https://skift.com/2026/10/07/how-amex-gbt-reviews-ai-risk/) that its AI governance is built around that trust as a core asset.

The company reviews AI risk by putting protection of client corporate data front and centre. In its business, a failure by a tech vendor is not a headline: it is a direct operational problem for thousands of corporate travellers and for the travel management teams who answer to their own boards.

My read is that this approach should ring a bell for any hotel, OTA or airline pushing AI into its processes. Trust is not bought with a badge, it is earned by explaining what data you touch, why and with what limits. Those who do it rigorously will hold a commercial edge when the corporate buyer asks for guarantees.
