In the Artificial Intelligence (AI) era, data is the core asset driving innovation. While Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) actively adopt AI to boost efficiency, overlooking cybersecurity can easily lead to data breaches and compliance crises. Therefore, businesses must establish a "Responsible AI" governance framework to strike a balance between enhancing operational efficiency and managing risks, ensuring steady and secure growth. By building a robust security defence, businesses can unlock the true potential of their data with complete peace of mind.

In this episode of "Tech Talk", we have invited experts from DYXnet and Progress Software to provide SMEs with a practical guide to Responsible AI. Our experts will analyse the hidden risks of the AI era and teach you how to build a compliant network and cybersecurity foundation to safeguard your AI transformation. This webinar will also explore how to securely convert vast amounts of unstructured documents (such as contracts, PDFs, and reports) into a bespoke generative AI search engine without complex coding—instantly extracting business intelligence to drive precise decision-making.

From solidifying your defences to unlocking new potential, this episode of Tech Talk will reveal the practical secrets for SMEs to adopt AI safely. Register now and lay a secure foundation for your AI transformation!
