Rightsizing AI Governance for MSMEs and NFPs

About This Event
AI governance does not need to be complex or resource-heavy. This online session challenges the assumption that managing AI safely requires enterprise-level compliance teams or bureaucratic processes.

Designed for MSMEs, not-for-profits, and small teams, this session focuses on rightsizing AI governance, applying lightweight, scalable, and proportionate controls that reflect how AI is actually used in smaller organisations. Drawing on Australian risk-based governance practices, the session moves away from rigid, rules-driven compliance and towards practical guardrails that enable confident and responsible AI adoption.

What You Will Learn

• Risk-Based AI Governance: How to apply a proportionate, risk-based approach to AI governance aligned with Australian responsible AI expectations.
• Practical Screening Tools: Simple checklists to quickly assess new AI tools and applications before adoption.
• Scalable Governance Guardrails: How to start with minimum viable governance and expand controls as AI use grows.

Target Audience

• Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs)
• Not-for-Profit organisations (NFPs)
• Startups and small teams
• Managers and professionals responsible for AI adoption or oversight
