Overview
Across the Victorian public purpose sector, approaches to AI vary. While some organisations are experimenting with AI tools, others are taking a more cautious approach due to risks around data, privacy, accountability, policy alignment and organisational oversight.
This webinar will focus on the foundational question of AI readiness: building the confidence, capability and governance needed to support safe and accountable adoption. Before exploring advanced use cases or implementation, public purpose organisations need a strong understanding of the essentials, including how data is managed, privacy is protected, and governance frameworks enable responsible use.
Our speakers will unpack what is driving different approaches to AI adoption and explore what good AI governance looks like in practice. With a focus on data, privacy, organisational policy, safeguards and accountability, we will examine the frameworks and practical steps leaders and teams need to consider when preparing for AI. Participants will explore the key questions to ask before adopting AI and how to establish the foundations for trusted, compliant and effective use across the sector.
