SUMMARY:AI Stewardship: What Association Boards Must Know
DESCRIPTION:Course Description:  \nFiduciary responsibility and the duty of foresight require boards to operate at the center of their associations’ AI decision-making. \nArtificial intelligence (AI) is the most perilous technology paradigm associations have considered for adoption in their history. Not only does AI create myriad significant risks for our community’s organizations\, it is inflicting daily harm on human beings\, including current association stakeholders. If boards agree to AI use in their associations\, they must fulfill their obligations for building robust AI governance and sustaining vigilant AI stewardship to create the conditions for ethical\, purposeful and responsible AI adoption. Given everything we know about AI today and in the years ahead\, this is the only defensible pathway forward. \nThis session is a high-stakes briefing for association board directors/officers\, chief staff executives/CXOs\, and other association community contributors on what is required of our community\, its organizations\, and their stewards and decision-makers with respect to AI adoption. \n  \nLearning Objectives: \nUnderstand the most critical issues in AI development and diffusion over the next 12-18 months. \nExplain the full range of risks and harms created by AI technologies today and their implications for association stakeholders. \nFocus organizational attention on creating the conditions for ethical\, purposeful\, and responsible AI adoption. \nCollaborate with other association contributors to begin building robust AI governance and sustainable board AI stewardship. \n  \nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE!
