Session description: An effective AI Risk Register is the backbone of any risk management program. It transforms high-level principles into actionable, trackable controls—helping organizations navigate regulatory obligations, operational risks, and ethical challenges with clarity.
In this session, we’ll explore a tactical approach to building and operationalizing AI Risk Registers, including:

• Building an AI Risk Register, Organize risks around AI use cases.
• Defining impact, likelihood, inherent risk (IR), control effectiveness (CE), and residual risk (RR).
• Mapping risks to frameworks such as ISO/IEC 42001, the EU AI Act, and NIST AI RMF.
• Integrating AI risks into enterprise GRC and vendor management programs.
  Whether you are building your first AI Risk Register or refining an existing one, this session will equip you with practical tools, templates, and insights to strengthen AI governance and risk management.
