Helport AI Announces Strategic Board Appointment of Former U.S. Bank Executive Dr. Yu Pan

Company Advances Enterprise AI Governance Strategy as AI Labor Deployment Expands Across Regulated Industries

SAN DIEGO and SINGAPORE, May 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Helport AI Limited (NASDAQ: HPAI) (“Helport AI” or the “Company”), a global technology company providing enterprise clients with intelligent customer communication software and services powered by artificial intelligence (“AI”), today announced that its Board of Directors has approved the appointment of Dr. Yu Pan as an independent director of the Company.

The Company also announced its intention to establish an AI Governance Committee at the Board level, with Dr. Pan expected to serve as its first Chair upon its establishment.

Former U.S. Bank Executive to Support Enterprise AI Governance Initiatives

Dr. Pan previously served as Executive Vice President at U.S. Bank and brings extensive experience in enterprise governance, global banking operations, compliance systems, operational risk management, and large-scale regulated technology deployment.

Helport AI believes the emergence of its proprietary “AI Labor System” (“AI Labor”), an industrial-scale engine that manufactures and delivers AI workforce capacity, represents a fundamental shift beyond traditional AI chatbot or AI agent applications. The Company notes that enterprise-grade systems such as AI Labor are increasingly becoming part of mission-critical operations across highly regulated industries, including banking, insurance, government services, financial services, and large-scale customer operations.

Governance and Auditability Becoming Critical for Enterprise AI Adoption

As enterprises begin deploying AI systems capable of replicating expert knowledge, operational workflows, communication processes, and decision-support capabilities, the Company anticipates that governance, auditability, controllability, operational transparency, and compliance will become essential requirements for enterprise-scale AI adoption.

The Company noted that its proprietary AI Labor System is designed to provide enterprise customers with full-stack expert-level AI labor services to enable organizations to deploy scalable AI workforces across complex operational environments through an outcome-based business model.

Unlike traditional AI agent solutions, which primarily focus on task automation, Helport AI believes enterprise AI labor systems must operate with significantly higher standards of reliability, workflow discipline, traceability, controllability, and governance architecture to support real-world enterprise operations.

The Company stated that its AI Labor technology has already been deployed across multiple enterprise environments globally, including government services, financial services, mortgage sales, insurance, e-commerce customer support, and consumer finance collections.

Leadership Perspectives

Guanghai Li, CEO of Helport AI, stated: “We believe AI Labor will become one of the most important infrastructure layers for the future enterprise economy. However, enterprise AI systems operating in real-world business environments must be built with governance, auditability, operational discipline, and trust at their core.

As AI moves beyond experimental tools into mission-critical enterprise operations, AI governance is becoming increasingly important. We believe Dr. Pan’s leadership experience from one of the world’s leading financial institutions will provide valuable guidance as we continue building trusted enterprise AI systems for highly regulated industries and large-scale enterprise deployment.”

Dr. Pan stated: “I believe that as AI systems begin operating within real enterprise environments, governance is becoming a foundational requirement for enterprise AI adoption. For highly regulated industries such as banking, insurance, government, and financial services, enterprise AI systems must provide clear operational controls, traceability, accountability, and auditability to support long-term deployment at scale.

I anticipate that the next phase of enterprise AI development will depend not only on model performance, but also on the maturity of governance frameworks, risk management systems, and enterprise trust infrastructure. I believe Helport AI’s long-term focus on AI Labor and enterprise AI governance reflects an important direction for the future evolution of enterprise AI systems.”
