Info: When it comes to AI, trust is built as much on people and processes as it is on algorithms. This panel will explore how organizations can ensure AI systems are not only accurate but also fair, transparent, and accountable. Panelists will discuss the role of diverse teams in reducing bias, the importance of governance frameworks and ethical review boards, and the ways cross-functional collaboration between data scientists, product leaders, policymakers, and end-users strengthens trust. Attendees will gain practical insights into building organizational cultures where responsible AI isn’t an afterthought, but a foundation for innovation.
