Five questions worth asking
Suggested by the host from
NCI modules · to be shaped with the speaker
Leading AI in regulated finance
Credit scoring is a high-risk use under the Act. How do leaders build AI literacy, human oversight and accountability into the culture?
From dashboards to decisions
When analytics moves from describing to deciding, for example in hiring, what changes? Explainability and the line into high-risk.
Buying and using AI at work
Most firms deploy AI rather than build it. What should a business check before adopting a chatbot or AI tool, and what must it tell users?
Inside implementation
What does turning a new law into everyday practice look like inside a large company? Teams, trade-offs and lessons so far.
