Generative AI is widely seen as a game-changer, and if you’re working in AI governance in a large organisation this is certainly true. A year ago, governance was generally aimed at a specific group of people (e.g. data scientists), doing specific things (e.g. using AI to solve core business problems). Now as AI becomes more sophisticated and generative AI has made it more accessible and introduced novel risks, it becomes imperative for businesses to scale up effective governance to ensure responsible and ethical AI deployment and use across the whole organisation. 

Sharing learnings and challenges from scaling the BBC’s governance approach to respond to the increasing use and impact of AI, this talk focuses on the practical aspects of doing this in large organisations:

• Developing & deploying a clear governance framework
• Achieving internal alignment and establishing effective collaboration
• The importance of culture in AI governance
