Responsible AI Summit Main Conference Day 1 - Tuesday 23 September

11:30 AM Presentation – From Governance to Assurance: Embedding Evidence Across the AI Lifecycle

Governance frameworks often focus on principles, but lack the mechanisms to prove systems meet performance, security, and ethical requirements over time. This session explores how evidence-driven assurance can bridge that gap, providing measurable confidence from ideation to decommissioning. Advai will share how decision gates, lifecycle-aligned testing, and continuous monitoring create traceable evidence for risk-based decisions and regulatory readiness - without slowing innovation.

  • Designing governance layers that integrate technical checkpoints from alpha to deployment
  • Applying bias, sensitivity, and robustness thresholds to guide operational risk decisions
  • Building evidence pipelines that feed audits, regulators, and adaptive monitoring systems

Understand how to operationalize Responsible AI through governance that’s measurable, auditable, and built for evolving risk landscapes.
