Responsible AI Summit Main Conference Day 1 - Tuesday 23 September

9:00 AM Opening Panel Discussion: From Principles to Progress: What’s Actually Changed in Responsible AI This Year?

The pace of AI adoption - and regulation - has accelerated dramatically in the past 12 months. As global frameworks mature and generative AI moves from pilot to production, how are organisations adapting their responsible AI strategies in real time? This opening panel brings together senior leaders to reflect on the most meaningful shifts in the last year—from governance structures and tooling to regulatory readiness and internal culture.

·       Responding to evolving AI regulations with practical, cross-functional governance updates

·       Adapting RAI frameworks for the age of GenAI, foundation models, and real-time use cases

·       Moving from awareness to accountability: What’s working, what’s not, and what’s next

Join us for a grounded look at how Responsible AI has moved from theory to action in the past year - and where the pressure points remain.

12:45 PM Presentation – A Practical Guidebook to AI Compliance
