Directors face growing responsibility to govern AI. Explore ethical oversight, accountability and aligning AI with organisational values.
Artificial intelligence presents significant opportunities but also raises complex governance challenges for boards and senior leaders. In this session, hosted by the University of Canterbury, we will explore the role of governance in ensuring AI is deployed responsibly, transparently and in alignment with organisational purpose and societal expectations.
Through real-world examples and emerging governance practices, Professor Rob Reich, a Senior Fellow at the Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) at the Stanford Institute, will discuss how leaders can balance innovation with oversight, establish accountability for AI systems, and embed ethical decision-making in organisational strategy and culture.
Attendees will gain insights to help guide principled leadership and effective governance in an increasingly AI-driven environment.
