ZOOM Webinar: Internal Audit’s Role in Strengthening AI Governance
Date: Thursday, May 7
Time: 11 am to 12 pm
As executive teams double down on artificial intelligence (AI) innovations, many organizations are beginning to establish AI governance frameworks—or, in some cases, have not started. Internal audit can serve as the seatbelt for a company that already has the accelerator to the floor with its AI pilot programs.
Check out events from our neighbors: DC IIA Chapter and NoVa IIA Chapter. Also note that the IIA has several annual conferences including GAM, GRC, International, Financial Services, and All Star. Find out more at the following link: IIA Conferences.
