What O-D Leaders Should Know About Responsible AI Adoption - Hosted by ODN-SoCal

Organizations that adopt AI without intelligent and responsible processes risk information loss, cybersecurity vulnerabilities, and costly implementation cycles.

This presentation and discussion will help OD professionals and talent leaders build a practical knowledge base for supporting effective adoption, including how to introduce and sustain AI initiatives in ways that enhance workforce productivity and positive customer experiences.

I-O experts will also learn how to identify situations where governance is needed, recognize early signals, and effectively communicate needs to leaders, developing a working understanding of responsible AI that supports, rather than constrains productivity.

Responsible AI practices will empower you to engage leaders in your organizations in positioning AI as a facilitator of employee effectiveness instead of an obligation.
