All employees from entry level upwards now have access to many of these tools in all aspects of their working lives, embedded in everything from search engines to MS Office applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While these tools bring enormous potential for increased efficiency and profitability for organisations of all sorts, there are also enormous potentials for ethical missteps, negative outcomes, and public scandals. These challenges can be difficult to address without a clear set of guidelines and understanding. Given this, the need for control and governance mechanisms informed by regulatory requirements, public expectations and sensitivities, and best practice standards is vital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the outcomes of neglecting such risks can be seriously costly and damaging, these risks largely fall into a few familiar categories that are simple to identify and address given the understanding covered in this master class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This master class will provide participants with a clear toolkit to predict, prevent, and manage such risks. Taking a better practice approach informed by recent scandals and the field of AI Ethics, this one-day master class will support participants through the process of creating a guidance toolkit and operational checklist for future projects that is customised to their own organisation, operations, and context. The toolkit and checklist will allow each participant and their organisation to predict and prevent such risks in future projects.<\/p>\n\n\n<mimas-block \n        block-name=\"accordion\"\n
