About this Event
Most organizations don't have an AI governance strategy. They have someone like you, figuring it out as they go.
If you're formally or informally leading your organization's AI adoption, use, or development without grounding in AI governance, you could be exposing your business and your customers to serious harm and liability.
Get the knowledge and skills to bring structure, reduce risk, and lead with more than good intentions.
You don't have to figure this out alone. Join peers who are navigating the same challenges and leave with hands-on guidance you can put to work the next day.
Together we'll:
- Learn about the latest AI legal and regulatory developments
- Understand the key elements of an AI governance function
- Walk through a real-world scenario to prepare for your own governance effort
- Gain AI governance templates and a playbook you can use immediately
Event proceeds will benefit C4K.
