This session is part of 'Conversations on AI' - a dynamic, cross-sector series that brings together diverse perspectives from industry, academia, and civil society, which focuses on actionable insights around 'HOW' questions. This session’s key question is: "How should shareholders balance return and responsibility when investing in AI?"

For responsible AI practitioners, this session offers the chance to develop the business case for AI assurance that you can champion within your organisation. By hearing directly from investors about how they evaluate AI systems, you'll gain practical insights into aligning your responsible AI initiatives with investor expectations.

As AI becomes increasingly central to business operations and products, investors face the challenge of evaluating the robustness, ethics, and sustainability of these systems. This session bridges the gap between AI development and investment criteria, helping you understand what investors look for when assessing AI assurance practices during due diligence.

Be part of the discussion about what sort of AI assurance investors should focus on, how should companies (and their shareholders) balance the need for assurance and responsibility, with the pace of change and stay competitive. What role do regulations, consumers, standards-setters, and investors have in guiding that balance and what 'good' looks like. Whether you are an entrepreneur, software developer, investor, policy, or interested bystander - come and share your perspective on how we can get this right together.

Join us to discover how responsible AI practices directly influence investment decisions and their role for sustainable business growth in the AI era.
