Why Attend?

As well as needing to be mindful of emerging regulations around AI (such as the EU AI Act), UK organisations are also already accountable under existing laws and regulatory requirements. If personal data is being processed using AI, your organisational responsibilities under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act still apply.

At the same time, regulatory expectations around responsible AI usage are increasing. Many regulators and professional bodies in the UK are already issuing sector-specific guidance on how organisations should be managing use of AI by their people.

This points to a wider direction of travel: your organisation may increasingly be expected to not only use AI responsibly, but to be able to demonstrate to customers, regulators and other stakeholders that appropriate governance and controls are in place.

This is why AI governance has now become a business leadership priority.

What The Seminar Will Cover

Our AI Governance & Regulation: An Essential Guide for Business Leaders seminar (brought to you by South West AI Solutions) is designed for leaders and managers who want to understand AI governance in more depth and begin putting effective controls in place to help control how AI is being used across their organisations.

Held at Buckfast Abbey Conference Centre (conveniently located just off the A38, mid-way between Plymouth and Exeter) this session will help business leaders understand the importance of implementing governance around AI usage and how to adopt a robust governance framework aligned with internationally recognised best practice standards such as ISO/IEC 42001.

Come along to find out more about your responsibilities for governing AI use, and leave with a plan for implementing a robust AI governance framework in your organisation.

This seminar will cover topics including:

  • The risks to your organisation around uncontrolled AI usage (being referred to as ‘shadow AI’)
  • Why data protection and GDPR needs to be front-of-mind when using AI
  • The evolving AI regulatory landscape – How UK regulators and professional bodies are increasingly introducing sector-specific guidance, standards and expectations for the responsible use of AI
  • Updates on the legal and regulatory landscape relevant to AI, affecting UK organisations
  • Practical steps for implementing a robust AI governance framework in your organisation, aligned with ISO/IEC 42001 – the first global management system standard to help organisations establish and maintain a robust AI governance framework.

Helping Businesses Embrace AI with Confidence

AI governance isn’t about stifling innovation. It’s about creating the foundations and guardrails that allow your organisation to embrace AI with confidence.

It starts with some straightforward questions:

  • What AI are we using?
  • What information are we putting into it?
  • Which tools have we approved?
  • What are the risks?
  • What rules do our people follow?
  • And who is responsible?

South West AI Solutions is a Devon-based AI consultancy helping organisations adopt AI safely, responsibly and strategically.

Whether you’re just beginning to explore AI governance or are ready to put a complete governance framework in place, we can help.
