​Recent studies have shown that brands associated with AI are behind on trust. And as long as only about 5% of AI experiments are operationalised, businesses won't get the full potential of AI. The time for talk is over. We will discuss how to operationalise AI, and your data in a trusted and governed way to achieve AI innovation at scale.


- How do you mitigate the trust deficit associated with AI?

- How do you move your AI experiments from your sandboxes to full scale production?

Exploring the critical intersection of Responsible AI and HR practices from a range of expert perspectives, this panel addresses the urgency of governing AI in recruitment and selection. With large language models (LLMs) and other AI systems permeating the HR landscape, businesses must prioritize ethical governance frameworks in this area, in particular as the EU’s AI Act qualifies many of them as ‘high risk’:

• Establishing clear guidelines for AI application in HR, aligning with organizational values and legal standards.

• Fostering cross-functional collaboration between HR, legal, and technology departments to ensure comprehensive governance.

• Implementing practical training programs to empower HR professionals in responsible AI decision-making.
