Description
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an essential tool for every workplace right now. It provides significant opportunities for improving productivity and commercially advantageous innovation but also presents significant risks - ‘hallucinations’, privacy breaches and Shadow AI all provide reasons to implement robust procedures to manage AI, to ensure responsible and effective outcomes and to proactively manage organisational reputation.
This course provides an overview of considerations for managing AI use in the workplace. It is relevant to senior leaders considering the deployment of AI across their organisation; leaders incorporating the use of AI by their team; and individuals using AI.
The course details case studies of AI applications and the useful outcomes and negative consequences that have arisen from them, including financial loss, litigation, health and safety concerns and reputational damage. It provides suggested considerations and processes for organisational culture, governance and skills, as well as sample risk management tools you can use or adapt for your own context, to manage deployment, empower individuals and control risks.
Facilitated by Grainne Hamilton, Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and member of the RSA AI Network, the course features a Q&A session with an AI standards expert, formerly of the UK Government PM/Cabinet Office who worked on the UK AI standards. By the end of the course you will have a clear overview of considerations, processes and tools that can be implemented immediately to achieve the deployment of responsible and effective AI in your workplace.

- C-suite/Senior leaders managing the implementation of effective and responsible AI across their organisation
