Generative AI (GenAI) is a game-changer for the finance industry. To unlock its benefits while maintaining the trust of clients, regulators and communities, organisations must balance innovation with responsible outcomes.

In this course, you’ll explore where the finance industry is on its journey to governance of GenAI and what might come next. You’ll also consider the practical steps you can take to create flexible governance frameworks to manage the GenAI tools used in your organisation, and to continue to innovate in a responsible way as the technology progresses.  

Learning outcomes:

• Evaluate risks specific to AI implementation and design policies and processes that balance risk management with innovation opportunities.
• Design comprehensive, flexible frameworks for AI governance and accountability.
• Create practical policies for governing GenAI use.
• Develop effective monitoring and review processes to ensure your GenAI governance framework remains effective and adapts to changing needs.
• Foster a culture of responsible AI innovation within teams, building capability while maintaining appropriate controls.

Benefits:

You'll be able to recognise and evaluate risks associated with GenAI, and then design practical and robust policies and procedures that allow you to safely implement GenAI. You'll also be able to set up governance processes in your organisation, ensuring there's clear accountability for GenAI tools and uses that are monitored appropriately. You'll take a clear-eyed approach to the use of GenAI in your organisation, recognising that there's great value to be realised when you can balance innovation with risk and governance.
