Despite AI’s power to innovate daily life and revolutionise organisations, public trust in AI is low. For companies to take full advantage of AI, it is vital that they adopt and communicate a responsible approach in order to build consumer, employee and investor confidence. Governing the Machine is the essential guide to harnessing the transformative potential of AI, while navigating and mitigating its inherent risks. It provides business leaders with a practical and flexible framework for building comprehensive and robust AI governance, ensuring that AI is trustworthy, sustainable, and a source of opportunity and profit rather than liability and harm. Join the book's co-authors, Ray Eitel-Porter, Dr Paul Dongha, and Miriam Vogel, at an event to mark the book's launch, as they demystify: The process of defining AI principles and policies Recognising and assessing risks Approaches for developing safeguards Selecting the right technical tools and training Evolving global AI regulations, laws and policies, including the EU AI Act and those in the US, UK and other key regions. Whether you're just beginning your AI journey or assessing your organisation’s approach, this book is your essential guide to seizing the opportunity – and avoiding the pitfalls – of AI systems. Books will be available to purchase at the event, and Paul and Ray would be delighted to sign them for you. After the event, Ray, Paul, Miriam, and the Intellectual Forum would be pleased to invite all attendees to a free reception to continue the conversation over drinks.
