About this Event
AI. Who is in control?
The leadership challenge of governing AI responsibly.
AI is moving fast. But is your organisation moving fast enough to govern it?
AI is already changing how organisations operate, make decisions and serve customers. Yet as adoption accelerates, so do the questions around trust, accountability, ethics and risk.
- Who is accountable when AI gets it wrong?
- How much risk are you prepared to accept?
- Can governance accelerate adoption rather than slow it down?
And are we thinking about ethics and governance early enough, or waiting until something goes wrong?
Join the conversation.
We’re bringing together a small group of senior technology, transformation and risk leaders for an open and thought-provoking panel discussion with three specialists in AI ethics and governance.
This isn't a technical session, and it isn't a compliance briefing.
It's a conversation about how organisations can use ethics and governance to build trust, make better decisions and create the confidence to move further and faster with AI.
We'll explore:
AI & Accountability
Who ultimately owns the decisions AI makes, and who is accountable when things go wrong?
Ethics & Trust
How do organisations build AI that customers, employees and regulators can trust?
Governance & Innovation
Can good governance become an enabler of innovation rather than another organisational hurdle?
Risk & Responsibility
What risks should organisations accept, mitigate or simply say no to?
From Principles to Practice
How do you turn responsible AI policies into something that works in the real world?
ISO 42001 & What's Next
As AI governance becomes increasingly structured, what should organisations be doing now, and where can ISO 42001 add real value?
The panel
Hear from three specialists bringing different perspectives on one of the most important leadership challenges emerging from AI:
Terry Yodaiken
Terry brings extensive experience in financial services and operational leadership, alongside a practical focus on AI governance and accountability.
His perspective focuses on one of the biggest challenges facing organisations today: creating governance structures that provide confidence and control without becoming a barrier to innovation.
Dawn McAra-Hunter
Dawn brings a leading voice in responsible AI, ethics and governance, with a strong focus on the human consequences of technology.
Her work explores how organisations can ensure AI is developed and deployed responsibly, considering issues including ethics, fairness, accountability and the potential impact AI can have on individuals and society.
Sidrah Hassan
Sidrah is an award-winning AI Ethicist and public speaker specialising in responsible AI, ethics and governance.
Her work focuses on turning responsible AI principles into practical action, helping organisations move beyond good intentions and frameworks to create governance that genuinely works in the real world.
Together, they'll challenge some of the assumptions around AI governance and explore what responsible AI really means when you move from policy to practice.
Who should attend?
This event is aimed at senior leaders responsible for the adoption, transformation, risk and governance of technology, including:
CIOs | CTOs | Transformation Directors | Risk Leaders | Data & AI Leaders
AI is already changing your organisation. The question is whether your ethics and governance are keeping pace, and whether they’re helping you move faster with confidence.
