This workshop is about how organizations can lead and govern AI to drive business value while managing risk and regulatory responsibility. It focuses on AI leadership and strategy, using global AI management principles and ISO/IEC 42001 as a reference model. Participants will gain a clear, non-technical understanding of what an AI management system consists of and why it matters.
The workshop combines short presentations with interactive discussions and practical reflection. Participants will work with their own organizational context, explore leadership responsibilities, and discuss priorities and next steps for governing AI in a structured but pragmatic way.
From this workshop, you will gain a clear understanding of how AI should be led and governed at a strategic and leadership level. You will learn how leadership decisions, structures, and responsibilities shape successful and responsible use of AI across the organization.
