As artificial intelligence becomes embedded in business operations, directors must grapple with its ethical implications.  
Join Nikki Maw, governance expert and experienced director, as she explores how boards can provide oversight in the use of AI - balancing innovation with integrity.  

This session will cover emerging ethical frameworks, risk management considerations, and how directors can ensure AI aligns with organisational values and stakeholder expectations.
