Thought leadership webinar

Governing AI in a new era: Navigating risk, regulation and responsibility.

Thursday, 29 May 2025, 11 am – 12pm BST

Explore the frameworks, roles, and regulatory shifts driving responsible AI governance in today’s complex environment.

AI isn’t just another technology rollout. It’s redefining how decisions are made, risks are assessed, and responsibilities are shared. Without a governance framework, you’re exposed to bias, compliance breaches, reputational risk, and operational failure.  

Join Protecht’s David Tattam and guest expert Elena Pykhova for a deep dive into the frameworks, roles, and responsibilities shaping AI governance today. 

In this session, we’ll explore: 

  • Cross-functional governance: Why risk leaders must collaborate across data science, legal, compliance, and IT 
  • AI governance operating models: What “good” looks like—and how to adapt for your maturity level 
  • Emerging best practices: The rise of AI governance committees and the Chief AI Officer role 
  • Model classification: How to prioritise oversight by AI system type, risk level, and business impact 
  • Policy integration: Where AI governance fits into procurement, privacy, risk appetite, and control frameworks 

 

Don’t let AI outpace your governance. Register now to learn how to take control, before the risks take control of you.
