workshop type -2024
Background
As Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to rapidly revolutionize businesses and
redefine the way we live and work, it becomes crucial to understand and manage
risks that are unique to AI. This workshop aims at discussing the approach to
effectively assess and mitigate these risks. Such understanding and mitigation of
risks is a sine quo non for responsible and ethical deployment of AI technologies.
Alongside understanding of AI centric risks and its mitigation, this workshop will also
consider the potential impacts of AI on various aspects of organizational functioning,
including data privacy, cybersecurity, workforce dynamics, and business processes.
At the workshop, we will delve into real-world case studies, examining both
successful implementations and notable pitfalls. By analysing these case studies,
participants will learn to identify common risk factors and develop strategies to
address them proactively. Interactive sessions and group discussions will allow
participants to share experiences and collaborate on finding solutions tailored to their
specific contexts.
