What this session is about: As AI becomes increasingly embedded in decisions that affect people, organizations face an important challenge: how do we move from high-level ethical principles to meaningful action? This session explores what Responsible AI looks like in practice, with a focus on emerging developments in AI governance, regulation, and accountability. We will discuss governance frameworks for large language models (LLMs), evolving guidance on Agentic AI systems, and the growing expectations around transparency, oversight, risk management, and human accountability. The session will also examine the real-world tensions between innovation, regulation, and societal impact, encouraging participants to think critically when designing, deploying, and governing AI systems. What the Audience Will Leave With A practical understanding of Responsible AI beyond theoretical principles. Awareness of emerging guidance and governance considerations for Agentic AI and LLM-based systems. Actionable questions and ideas they can apply to their own AI initiatives and governance discussions. About Co-working Fridays Friday is our open co-working day.
