SUMMARY:Networking - Lake Macquarie Business Networking Evening - AI in August with Kim Fernandez: CEO and Founder of AI Collab
DESCRIPTION:Is your business AI compliant?\n\n\nWhat is shadow AI?\nWhat governance needs to be put in place?\nWith Kim Fernandez CEO and Founder AI Collab\n\nRight now\, around 60% of Australian workers are using AI tools their employer hasn’t approved. That’s not a fringe of rule-breakers\, it’s most of your team\, and it’s usually a sign people are trying to do better work faster. The real problem is what leadership can’t see: sensitive data going into free tools\, no record of what’s changed\, and no agreement on where the line sits. That’s shadow AI. Kim Fernandez will be talking about what it actually costs a business\, and how to bring it into the open without turning it into an investigation. Kim Fernandez can assist you to define your business AI policy. The strategic goals\, data needs\, governance\, and operational rules required for a successful rollout.
