AI adoption has outrun the rules meant to govern it, and the gap keeps landing on whoever signs off on the work. A full day on the practical end of that: risk, transparency, accountability and responsible use. The room is pitched at practitioners, builders and decision makers across the public and private sectors. The premise is that writing a governance framework and running one inside a live organisation are two different jobs. Speaker and programme details are still to come, and capacity is limited.
Anu's Take
This is going to be a good one. So looking forward to joining my fellow Victoria Data Society board members in bringing this event to Victoria. It's well overdue, and think of it as primer leading up to the Prompt Victoria AI conference in November.

This whole day is built on the distance between an AI ambition and something an organisation can actually run, which is the gap I went looking for one level up: an excellent national strategy with no direct adoption dollars for small business.
