CITI-IMMAA Seminar: Amie Stepanovich, Vice President for US Policy, Future of Privacy Forum
Designing Policies for AI in Practive
By now, much has been written about the tremendous potential and threat of AI. Pollyannas claim it will improve lives while Cassandras focus on the risks. These questions are openly addressed in emerging legislation and regulations. However, most organizations are left navigating uncharted waters, unsure of how to design guidelines for staff on internal policies, procedures, and practices around generative AI. To remedy this, the Future of Privacy Forum published earlier this year an internal policy checklist on “Generative AI for Organizational Use” .
This seminar will focus on the process used to create the checklist, how it can be implemented, and key themes and takeaways to figure out where generative AI can help or hinder their work. A discussion will follow.
