“Of course, the use of AI means that boards need to develop a coherent strategy for dealing with AI issues in the workplace. The goal of this training is to precipitate meaningful discussion among stakeholders about issues like bias, accountability, reliability, and access, among other things.”

“The promise and impact of AI is top of mind in the boardroom,” said Dottie Schindlinger, Executive Director of Diligent Institute. “Directors see the benefit of using AI to enhance efficiencies and gain insights, but risks can arise without the right tools and oversight. This certification will outline the risks and opportunities associated with AI against the background of today’s regulatory landscape, and help leaders identify governance models to consider the ethical and compliance implications of AI.”
