Whether you like it or not, Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are increasingly integrated into our daily lives. It has strong potential to transform our society, reshape industries and decision-making processes, drive inclusive economic growth, and foster scientific advancement. Organizations must proactively address the risks associated with their design, development, and implementation.
This presentation will introduce the AI Risk Management Framework, published by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) in January 2023. We’ll explore key components of the framework and related guidance with applicable international standards, guidelines, and practices. Attendees will gain insights into balancing innovation with responsibility, ensuring that AI systems are trustworthy, and how risk management will help to cultivate public trust.
