Women Leading in AI Conference 2019

Challenging the unaccountable: How do we trust AI?

We were delighted to present our 2019 conference, hosted at the Microsoft Reactor on Monday the 18th of November. The day was filled with many speakers, panels, debates and interesting discussion. Key to the day was our launch of our white paper 10 Principles for Responsible AI. A forward thinking thought piece which addressed many of the aspects of governance and assurance that we are seeing developed now.
