Description
AI governance is rapidly evolving, and organizations are now expected to prove that their systems are safe, trustworthy, and compliant. The arrival of ISO 42001—the world’s first AI management system standard—alongside frameworks like the EU AI Act and NIST’s AI Risk Management Framework, marks a turning point for AI accountability. Understanding these standards is now essential for every company deploying AI responsibly.
In this panel interview, Avani Desai, CEO at Schellman, Adrián González Sánchez, Global AI Architect at Microsoft, Lee Bristow, Director of Cyber & AI Governance at Saros Consulting, Yemi Akinrele, AI Governance & Privacy Counsel at Echolink Solutions, will break down what ISO 42001 means for your organization and how it connects to other major frameworks. You’ll learn what to expect from an AI audit, how to assess and mitigate risks, and how to embed responsible AI principles into your company’s operations. This session is ideal for AI, IT, and cybersecurity managers preparing for the next wave of regulation and governance.
