The Association Leader’s Guide to AI Policy: Risks, Opportunities, and Best Practices
Associations are already experimenting with AI, but most lack clear policies to guide safe and effective use, much less the other tools you need for great AI governance. This webinar will give leaders a practical starting point: what policies and governance they need—internal, external, and risk-related—to protect their organizations and manage change responsibly. In just a one hour webinar, we’ll outline the essential components of AI governance, share real-world templates, and show how associations can get ahead of the risks while preparing for future opportunities.
