🫶 Trust is a necessary foundation for your relationship with your stakeholders. And it’s a currency that can disappear quickly if you don’t invest in maintaining it.

🤖 The same applies to AI. AI is transforming organisations at an unprecedented rate. But it also has the potential to harm your stakeholders significantly.

🫂 A less obvious stakeholder is society at large. They’re watching how you do business and whether you harm stakeholders. In fact, they can make or break your organisation through social media campaigns. So, it’s crucial that they and your other stakeholders trust you and your AI.

🗣️This webinar’s going to help you create trustworthy AI. It’ll be an immersive panel discussion with leading industry experts that will offer you practical legal solutions.

We’ll address topics like:
• Why trust is crucial to the success of your organisation
• How AI can harm your stakeholders
• The need for trustworthy AI
• The AI lifecycle
• AI governance
• The regulatory framework
• The EU’s AI Act
