AI Governance & Ethics

Organisations are adopting AI faster than their governance frameworks can keep up. Decisions made by AI systems affect employees, customers, and business outcomes — but many of those systems operate without clear accountability, oversight, or ethical guardrails. This 1-day programme gives compliance officers, legal teams, HR leaders, and senior management the knowledge to govern AI responsibly.

Participants leave with a practical understanding of AI governance frameworks, the ethical risks of AI deployment, how to assess AI vendors and systems, and what a responsible AI policy looks like for a Malaysian organisation.
