Workshop A: Finding the place of Artificial Intelligence in your Enterprise Risk Management framework
09.00 – 12.00 Friday 23 May 2025
No matter how you look at it, AI will be a part of the future – as such, the risks of AI will be a part of our future too. Governments, corporations, and criminals alike have staked a claim in the ‘productivity boom’ to come, as sophisticated new technology rapidly becomes the norm for individuals and organisations everywhere. It is vital that your organisational risk management strategy is informed by this rapid change in technology and threats.
This workshop will begin the process of bridging a gap between risk management and AI professionals. Led by a subject matter expert at the cutting edge of AI and machine learning, you will join senior professionals from major Australian organisations, to develop key skills and insights:
- Understanding what Artificial Intelligence is, and the risks and opportunities involved
- Refining your risk management approach to prevent, detect, and counter AI-led risks
- Identifying key areas of your risk management function which could be improved with AI-powered technology
- Collaborating effectively with internal and external IT specialists to manage AI risks effectively
- Preparing for the risks and opportunities on the horizon as AI becomes more powerful
