SUMMARY:The human factor in AI Governance: From policy to practice
DESCRIPTION:Description: \n\n\n\nMost webinars on AI governance in 2026 will walk you through the EU AI Act. This session speaks to something more complex: what  your organisation actually requires to make governance real. \n\n\n\nAI is no longer a concept of the future. It is an active participant in your organisation’s workflows. Yet\, as adoption accelerates\, the gap between governance on paper and governance in practice is widening. Frameworks exist\, regulations are tightening\, but the organisations that are genuinely getting this right are the ones that deeply understand that effective governance will be the differentiator in the era of AI. As agents do more of the tasks\, the job of the organisation and its people will be managing\, overseeing\, and exercising real judgement at every level. \n\n\n\nJoin our expert panel as we go beyond compliance checklists to explore the organisational\, cultural\, and human dimensions of AI governance that no audit framework alone can solve. \n\n\n\nLearning objectives:  \n\n\n\n\nUnderstand the implementation gap. Move beyond what the EU AI Act requires to explore what it actually takes to comply.\n\n\n\nHow AI governance is different: Understand usage\, continuous monitoring\, explainability.\n\n\n\nReframe shadow AI: Recognise why shadow AI is fundamentally a risk culture problem\, not a detection or inventory problem and learn what it signals about psychological safety inside your organisation.\n\n\n\nOperationalise human oversight. Unpack what “meaningful human oversight” really means in practice and understand who carries that responsibility\, whether they have the training to exercise genuine judgment and the authority to intervene.\n\n\n\n\nCPE credit(s): 1 CPE upon live viewing and participation. CPEs not offered on-demand. \n\n\n\nField of study: Information Technology  \n\n\n\nInstructional delivery method: Group Internet Based \n\n\n\nLevel: Basic \n\n\n\nPrerequisite: None \n\n\n\nAdvanced preparation: None  \n\n\n\n*Click here for more CPE information.
