Description

With the rise of artificial intelligence in business, new regulations are being passed to mitigate its privacy, data security, and ethical risks. One of the most high-profile and comprehensive is the EU’s AI Act, which has been likened to GDPR for AI. The new Act assigns AI applications to three risk categories and obliges providers of high-risk systems to adhere to a series of risk management, data governance, and cybersecurity requirements. The penalties for noncompliance are steep — and the deadline for enforcement is fast approaching. This will require internal audit and risk leaders to step into a more prominent role in helping their businesses prepare for compliance with new and evolving AI regulations. Learn more about the requirements, their potential impact on your organisation, and what you can do now to prepare in this session.
