SUMMARY:How to Craft Your Responsible AI Policy
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nGenerative AI has exploded into the business world with wide-ranging disruptive potential. As associations grapple with how to incorporate AI into their working practices\, often the very first step is to craft a good Responsible AI policy which will provide parameters for staff usage of new tools as well as identify the organization’s position on the often thorny ethical questions involved in using AI. Wary of getting started without a policy in place? In this hands-on\, collaborative session\, we’ll walk you through step by step how to write your own AI policy and guidelines – and you’ll hear from peers how they are thinking through the big questions around the dangers and benefits of AI in their own organizations. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \nIdentify key elements that belong in a responsible AI policy \nAnalyze different different approaches to writing AI guidelines \nDevelop a policy template to use right away when you get back to the office. \n  \n\n\nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE! \n\n\n

SUMMARY:W456: The True Implications of AI for the Association Industry: Part 4 – Responsible AI And Associations’ Role In Defining The Ethics Of AI
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nThe True Implications of AI for the Association Industry \nA four-part strategic conversation between forward thinking industry leaders and YOU\, about how association leaders should be thinking about the impact of generative AI on the association industry as a whole\, as well as on your own association and its members.  This series will provide food for thought and some questions for consideration\, through a full group discussion hosted by a small group of panelists who have already put a lot of thought into these topics and have some insight to share. The bulk of the time will be for general discussion and Q&A – you will be sure to leave with your mind buzzing as well as some practical ideas and next steps to bring back to your organization. \nWe will cover the following topics: \n  \nPart 4 – Responsible AI And Associations’ Role In Defining The Ethics Of AI \nThe Responsible AI Manifesto states\, “We have to be willing to have the hard conversations now so that we do not ruin what can be one of the most transformative technological shifts in human history. As AI capabilities race forward\, leaders must clearly define their principles\, policies and procedures.”  How can associations – standards-bearers by design—lead the charge?  How should we start thinking about the ethics of AI\, starting at home in our own organizations?  \nBring your questions\, ideas\, and resources/links if you have some!  All sessions in this series will provide actionable resources from panelists and participants for all to take away. \n  \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\n– Explore ethical considerations for leveraging AI technology in organizations\n– Learn about the trends in and key considerations for constructing a framework for responsible use of AI\n– Understand the questions they need to ask in order to develop ethical AI solutions\n– Develop strategies for staying informed of new and evolving regulations and standards associated with responsible AI usage\n\nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE! \n

SUMMARY:W453: The True Implications of AI for the Association Industry: Part 1 –Managing the Risks and Disruption of Generative AI
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nThe True Implications of AI for the Association Industry \nA four-part strategic conversation between forward thinking industry leaders and YOU\, about how association leaders should be thinking about the impact of generative AI on the association industry as a whole\, as well as on your own association and its members.  This series will provide food for thought and some questions for consideration\, through a full group discussion hosted by a small group of panelists who have already put a lot of thought into these topics and have some insight to share. The bulk of the time will be for general discussion and Q&A – you will be sure to leave with your mind buzzing as well as some practical ideas and next steps to bring back to your organization. \nWe will cover the following topics: \n  \nPart 1 –Managing the Risks and Disruption of Generative AI \nGenerative AI is more than just chatbots and weird art – we need to understand how it works\, in order to start figuring out how we might manage risk and disruption to our industries.  In this session\, we’ll start with a baseline explanation for non-techies\, then dig into what this means for association leaders and how we should be thinking about the implications: \nInternal disruption – How will AI fit into governance? Organizational Strategy? Change management and evolving how we work? HR implications? \nExternal disruption –  how this will impact our members and our association sector – what does this mean for existing credentialing and professional education? Cybersecurity? How will it affect how our members do their jobs or run their companies? What role do associations need to play in leading their stakeholders in understanding the implications? \nBring your questions\, ideas\, and resources/links if you have some!  All sessions in this series will provide actionable resources from panelists and participants for all to take away. \n  \nPart 2 – Considerations for Adding AI to Your Tech Stack \nAI functionality has been part of our tech stack for a while\, of course\, but we’re about to see an avalanche of new tools\, plugins and features from the big platforms we use everyday (looking at you\, Microsoft and Google).  How do we manage this onslaught of shiny tools?  And how do we get proactive about researching and adding other new tools to evolve our tech strategy and tech stack?  How do we keep on top of security risks?  \nBring your questions\, ideas\, and resources/links if you have some!  All sessions in this series will provide actionable resources from panelists and participants for all to take away. \nREGISTER for Part 2 \n  \nPart 3 – Personalization\, Privacy and AI \nPersonalization\, targeted content\, and questions of privacy have been points of discussions for years. Why then are the very people who touted the value of personalizing online experiences decrying the wickedness of generative AI? Google\, Facebook\, and even LinkedIn ply us with ads and content based on algorithms we will never see. In fact\, harnessing those algorithms to our benefit is the holy grail of marketers. We will discuss the high-level differences that make the considerations for generative AI and narrative chat a new\, and often concerning new tool in the hands of both good and bad actors. \nBring your questions\, ideas\, and resources/links if you have some!  All sessions in this series will provide actionable resources from panelists and participants for all to take away. \nREGISTER for Part 3 \n  \nPart 4 – Responsible AI And Associations’ Role In Defining The Ethics Of AI \nThe Responsible AI Manifesto states\, “We have to be willing to have the hard conversations now so that we do not ruin what can be one of the most transformative technological shifts in human history. As AI capabilities race forward\, leaders must clearly define their principles\, policies and procedures.”  How can associations – standards-bearers by design—lead the charge?  How should we start thinking about the ethics of AI\, starting at home in our own organizations?  \nBring your questions\, ideas\, and resources/links if you have some!  All sessions in this series will provide actionable resources from panelists and participants for all to take away. \nREGISTER for Part 4 \n  \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\n– Gain an understanding of the risks and disruption Generative AI can cause\n– Learn how to incorporate AI into organizational governance\, strategy and change management\n– Get insights on how this impacts existing credentialing and professional education\n– Network with and learn from a panel of experts to take away actionable resources\n– Explore ways to lead stakeholders effectively in understanding Generative AI implications\n\n  \nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE!

SUMMARY:W405: The No BS Guide to Digital Transformation
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nDigital Transformation has been a hot topic for a decade\, and yet associations still struggle to make it happen\, to get beyond “digitizing” and truly “go digital.” Why is that?  \nJoin Maddie Grant and Elizabeth Engel as they share findings from their new\, deeply researched whitepaper\, The No BS Guide to Digital Transformation: How Intentional Culture Change Can Propel Associations Forward. The research is clear: the key to lasting\, responsive digital transformation is intentional and focused culture change. This session will delve deeply into what makes association culture unique and how culture change particularly impacts associations.  \nThe session will address questions like:  \n\nWhat is digital transformation and why do associations need it?\nWhich technologies reduce transactional friction that slow associations down?\nWhat culture patterns do associations have that block true digital transformation?\nHow can associations be digitally mature enough to be competitive?\n\nThe session will also include a live interview with Prabhash Shrestha\, MS\, PMP\, CAE\nGroup Executive Vice President and Chief Digital Strategy Officer\, who will share insights about how The Independent Community Bankers of America® embarked on their digital transformation project on behalf of their members and their industry.   \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\n– Define what digital transformation is for their specific association context\n– Understand the concept of culture patterns and how they can be roadblocks to digital transformation\n– Identify seven steps they need to take to effect digital transformation in their association.
