SUMMARY:Governing AI with Confidence: Responsible AI and Audit-Ready Controls
DESCRIPTION:Event description\n\n\n\nThe rapid adoption of artificial intelligence is transforming how organizations operate\, innovate\, and compete but it also introduces significant and evolving risk. As AI becomes embedded across business processes\, many organizations are shifting from experimental use cases to enterprise-wide deployment with no clearly defined governance model\, inconsistent risk management approach\, nor a mature controls framework. Gaps in AI governance\, ineffective risk profiling of emerging initiatives\, data security and privacy concerns\, and a lack of urgency to adapt to an evolving regulatory and control landscape can expose organizations to financial\, regulatory\, and reputational harm. \n\n\n\nTo navigate these challenges\, organizations must move beyond ad hoc controls and establish resilient\, enterprise-wide Responsible AI programs grounded in strong governance\, accountability\, and continuous monitoring. These strategies must be comprehensive enough to integrate across business functions and address risks beyond cybersecurity alone. Internal Audit plays a critical independent role in assessing the design and effectiveness of Responsible AI strategies\, informing executive leadership\, the audit committee\, and the board on AI risk readiness today – while helping organizations anticipate and prepare for the risks of tomorrow. \n\n\n\nWebcast details\n\n\n\nDate and time \n\n\n\nTuesday\, March 31\, 20261:00 PM ET – 2:00 PM ET \n\n\n\nRecommended CPE credits \n\n\n\n1 \n\n\n\nLearning objectives \n\n\n\n\nIdentify key AI regulatory requirements and frameworks and evaluate their applicability to an organization based on its vision\, strategy and objectives \n\n\n\nSummarize the principles of responsible AI and explain the risks that are associated with AI systems\n\n\n\nDescribe the practical steps to identify\, evaluate\, and mitigate risks throughout the AI ideation\, development and deployment process.\n\n\n\nIdentify Internal Audit’s role in preparing for AI focused audits with inclusion of leading practices\n\n\n\nDescribe how to build an impactful audit approach for trending topics in AI and Governance

SUMMARY:Optimizing the workforce in the age of AI
DESCRIPTION:In this fireside chat with Ginnie Carlier\, EY Americas Vice Chair — Talent\, we’ll explore how organizations are navigating workforce optimization as AI becomes embedded across the world of work. \n\n\n\nAI is much more than a productivity tool — it is reshaping how humans create value at work. As organizations move from experimentation to scale\, leaders must decide not only where we leverage AI\, but also how to do so responsibly and with the goal of elevating human’s capacity to create value not just build efficiencies. \n\n\n\nThrough executive dialogue and real-world examples\, you’ll gain practical perspectives to help you assess where your organization is today and how to move toward a more integrated\, value-driven approach to workforce strategy\, including: \n\n\n\n\nStrategic considerations regarding the deployment of AI: Getting there fast vs getting it right\n\n\n\nHR’s role in organizational AI strategy: Shifting from siloed workforce decisions to a shared optimization mindset\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat work should prioritize: Identifying the greatest areas for ROI in regard to AI investment\n\n\n\nHuman capability augmented by AI: Seeing AI as a means to enhance human contribution rather than replace it\n\n\n\n\nGain insights grounded in the real-world perspective of the EY Americas Vice Chair — Talent\, on how these shifts are showing up in practice — and how leaders can prepare their workforce for what’s next. \n\n\n\nJoin us today! \n\n\n\nPending approval for 1 HRCI\, 1 SHRM\, and 1 CPE credit. \n\n\n\nNote: CPE is only available for attending the live event\, on-demand viewing is not eligible
