Safely and compliantly use AI in your business
Control your reputational and legal risks by using our 3 stage AI Governance framework to build your company’s AI governance capabilities and manage AI safely in your business
Do you know that you can be fined 7% of global revenue if you don't comply with the NEW EU AI Act?
If AI is built and deployed without effective and well thought out governance systems and processes, harm can be caused to people and society.
But AI governance isn't just about risk, its also about innovation. Having confidence in your governance approach enables you to innovate at speed and scale.
Regulations are changing quickly. In order to successfully build and adopt AI systems which fulfill the opportunities and challenges your organisation faces, AI governance needs to be incorporated into your organisational strategy and action plan.
Aligning AI requirements and priorities across functional domains is difficult. Each needs to be effectively engaged in order to create and support the organisations overall strategic and operational journey in AI. This needs active collaboration across stakeholders in the domains of business, legal and technology.
AI Governance allows you to unlock the transformative power of AI whilst managing and mitigating risk to your organisation. AI has great power and potential, but without disciplined governance, it can harm people and society.
