About Keri "Isiah" Turner

I grew up in Buffalo, NY, and served in the United States Navy during the Global War on Terror. Having navigated significant challenges, I have successfully rebuilt my life from the ground up on more than one occasion. These experiences have shaped my views and fueled my passion for the work I do today. That history is the reason I do this work. I don't just sound like someone who knows things. I sound like someone who survived things, and that is what people feel when they sit across from me. Today I work as a federal cybersecurity professional, and I founded Iron Lion AI Consulting, an AI risk and liability ecosystem built for law firms, medical practices, and financial advisors. My credentials sit underneath the work (CompTIA Security+, ISC2 CC, NIST RMF, and a degree in Computer Information Systems with a focus in Information Systems Security), but credentials are not the point. The point is what they let me see. Here is what I see. AI is already inside your organization, making decisions and moving data in places you never mapped. AI risk is not a technology problem. It is a human behavior problem. Uncontrolled decision-making plus uncontrolled data flow equals exposure. Most leaders call that a gap. It is not a gap. It is exposure, and exposure has a bill attached. So I named the threat AI Malpractice and the answer is AI Defensibility. My work runs on one model, LION: Locate every system, Identify where it touches the law, Operationalize real oversight, and Neutralize the risk you can. The goal is not perfection. The goal is defensibility, so that when something goes wrong tomorrow, you can explain, defend, and justify how AI is used in your organization. My chapter in AI in the Field, "Unprotected," is where this starts. Read it, then go look at your own house. When you are ready to see what you cannot currently defend, meet me at risk.ironlionaiconsulting.com.
