Responsible AI Summit Workshop Day - Wednesday 23 September
11:00 AM Workshop 2 – Influencing the C Suite: Communicating Responsible AI to Business Leaders
Responsible AI is no longer a technical or compliance issue alone — it is a leadership and trust challenge. Yet many Responsible AI initiatives struggle to gain traction at the executive level due to misaligned language, competing priorities, and unclear business value.
This interactive workshop is designed to help Responsible AI leaders, practitioners, and cross functional teams confidently engage senior leadership and the C suite on Responsible AI. The session focuses on how to communicate RAI in a way that resonates with business leaders, aligns with organisational strategy, and drives informed decision making without stalling innovation.
Through practical exercises and real world scenarios, participants will explore how to frame Responsible AI in terms of risk, value, reputation, and growth, and how to move conversations beyond principles to action.
Attendees will:
• Understand what C suite leaders care about when it comes to AI risk, opportunity, and trust, and how to tailor Responsible AI messaging accordingly.
• Translate Responsible AI concepts into clear, business relevant narratives that resonate with executive priorities.
• Build confidence in influencing senior stakeholders, handling challenge, and addressing common executive objections.
• Develop communication strategies to secure leadership buy in and align stakeholders across the organisation.
Walk away with practical frameworks, messaging tools, and leadership ready talking points to successfully position Responsible AI as a strategic enabler, balancing speed, innovation, and trust at the highest levels of the organisation.
