[online] Building Trust in AI: Navigating Global Governance and Regulations
Details
As AI technology continues to reshape industries globally, the need for clear governance and regulation becomes more urgent than ever.
Trust is not a feature you start working on after you launch. In today's AI landscape, it is the product itself, and the regulatory frameworks emerging globally are, at their core, codified trust requirements.
This session explores how to build an AI business that survives and scales across jurisdictions, by treating governance not as a compliance burden but as the roadmap to earning trust in the first place.
Speaker:
Anna August, PhD is an AI ethics auditor and governance advisor working across European and MENA markets. Through Anna August Advisory, she helps organisations understand what responsible AI actually requires in practice, not just in principle. She is the creator of the Seven Core Ethical Pillars framework and writes on AI governance for practitioners.
What will be covered:
- Why TRUST is the central challenge of AI adoption, and how global regulations are the roadmap to achieving it
- The Seven Core Ethical Pillars: how international consensus from UNESCO, OECD and global governance bodies translates into a working framework for AI organisations
- ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 as baseline governance infrastructure: what they require and why they matter now
- The EU AI Act: what changes for developers and deployers in 2025/2026
- UK AI governance: the current regulatory landscape and where it is heading
- GCC regulations: what AI businesses need to know before entering the Gulf market
- The US context: what the absence of a federal framework means for global operators
- Practical next steps: building trust into your AI product and organisation from day one
