AI Governance, Responsible AI and Data Governance: Connecting the Dots

 

[This is a post-conference workshop back to back to our Data Warehousing & BI Summit where Mathias Vercauteren will deliver a keynote as well. You can register for this workshop separately via this page or, with a discount, in combination with the conference via the conference registration form.]

 

Artificial intelligence promises transformative business value, but without strong governance foundations, AI initiatives risk being biased, opaque, or non-compliant. Organizations are increasingly expected—by regulators, customers, and society at large—to ensure AI systems are ethical, explainable, and trustworthy. Yet, most governance efforts remain fragmented: AI governance is treated separately from Responsible AI principles, while Data Governance operates in a silo.
This seminar connects the dots. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of how Data Governance underpins Responsible AI, and how AI Governance frameworks operationalize ethics and compliance in practice. Combining strategy, case studies, and hands-on frameworks, the course provides attendees with the tools to design and implement governance approaches that make AI not only innovative, but also reliable and responsible.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this seminar, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the principles of AI Governance and the importance of Responsible AI
  • Explore the role of Data Governance in supporting ethical and compliant AI practices
  • Learn how to develop and implement AI Governance frameworks that align with organizational goals
  • Discover best practices for ensuring transparency, accountability, and fairness in AI systems
  • Examine real-world case studies that highlight successful AI and data governance integration
  • Gain practical tools and techniques for fostering a culture of responsible AI and data management
  • Identify common challenges and strategies to overcome them in the governance of AI and data.
