Event information

Topic: "Human-Centred AI & Governance Focus".

This session will explore how artificial intelligence can be developed and applied in ways that keep people, communities, and organisations at the centre. We will look at practical approaches to aligning AI with governance frameworks, ethical principles, and responsible leadership. The discussion will highlight how human-centred design and oversight can help ensure AI technologies support trust, accountability, and positive impact

We invite you to be part of the Allan Gray Speaker Series, bringing together individuals with an interest in re-scripting the orientation of organisational & societal life – to more closely reflect positive values which serve the common good, responsible leadership, clean living, embedding hope for the many and challenging the alienation and damage caused by self-serving decisions, actions and behaviours at all individual levels and within organisations.  

Please note: After you have RSVP'd for the session, you will get an email with the webinar link and instructions for joining / connecting to the session
