Responsible AI Summit Workshop Day - Monday 22 September

9:00 AM Workshop 1 – Building the Skills to Embed Responsible AI Across Your Organisation

As Responsible AI continues to evolve into a distinct and in-demand discipline, many professionals are asking the same questions: How do I enter the RAI space? How do I grow within it? This interactive workshop explores both the individual skills and the organisational capabilities needed to scale responsible AI.

Whether you’re shaping governance, influencing leadership, or driving implementation, understanding the emerging competency landscape is key—not only for your organisation, but for your own RAI career trajectory. Attend this workshop to delve into: 

  • Identifying the skillsets RAI practitioners need to develop for long-term impact
  • Understanding how to position RAI skills to boards, exec teams and hiring managers
  • Translating responsible AI into leadership development, capability building and culture

Walk away with clarity on the competencies shaping the future of RAI, and practical tools to map your team’s needs and your own career progression in this growing field.
