Overview
The use of Artificial Intelligence products and services is now no longer an ‘if’; it is now a ‘when’ and ‘how’. Artificial Intelligence is rapidly evolving into a mainstream technology that organisations will seek to use, to improve their business operations and streamline work.
The importance of establishing a proper governance and oversight framework is critical for organisations, private and public, in adopting artificial intelligence (AI) products/services.
It is therefore imperative that ALL organisations, agencies, and businesses, be they Government or Private, retain the confidence and trust of their customers, clients and the public in their ability to protect personal information entrusted to them, by taking every possible step (through policy, process and technology) to ensure that only those who require access to the data and that that data is used legally and ethically.
Who Should Attend?
This course is about designing and implementing the governance and oversight of implementing an Artificial Intelligence (AI) product or service into an organisation, through a policy and process approach.
Senior leaders who have the responsibility for and are the accountable authorities for the planning, selection, assessment and implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within their organisations
Chief Information Officers, Chief Technology Officers, and Chief Information Security Officers
Those with responsibilities for oversight, governance and audit of systems.
This session is also designed for those wanting to understand how to implement greater protections through the development and implementation of sound AI Policy and Process Development of and for their data and networks and learn how to translate the technical impacts of AI Policy to business impacts for non-cyber people.
