Getting Started With AI Governance: The 100 Day Sprint
Please join us on Friday Apr 24th for an amazing AI morning exploring the path to a "minimum viable governance" - an effective starting point for a compliant, long-term AI governance program implementing the NIST AI Risk Management Framework.
- We will start off with a virtual presentation by John Rood that will walk us through how to set up a "minimum viable governance" for AI.
- In order to get cross-silo conversations started, we are inviting representatives from IIBA (Business Analysis), PMI (Project Management Institute), ISACA (Security), GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance pros), DG-SIG (Data Governance-Special Interest Group), the BC-AI Community. plus as many DAMA and Non-Profit folks as we can seat at the 10x8 person tables.
- And food! We are ordering extra muffins, croissants, yoghurts, cookies, and coffee to entice folks to take part in their table discussions. John Rood will take part virtually in the conversations but not the food.
- We would really like to pack the room with folks from disparate groups so please pass on this invitation to anybody you think might be interested. We can always pull in extra chairs if we overshoot. :)
- Come for the learning/networking, and leave with a full stomach and a gift card! :)
